Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
On startup of Empathy the icon in the notification panel is green, showing me that a user wishes for me to authorize them. They are a Yahoo! IM user. If I click on No, that I do not wish to authorize them, the icon in the notification panel changes from green to white and the request that I denied no longer shows.
However then when I quit Empathy and restart it, that previously denied request shows up once again, just like it did the first time. I again answer No to deny, and it disappears until the next restart.
The only way was able to permanently get the request to go away, was to accept the request, and then from the list of authorized contacts, Remove the offending contact.
Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64
