Comment 20 for bug 620733

I have a very similar problem, but I get different error messages. Empathy will not retain the settings after a relaunch.

I get the following errors when launching empathy from the command line:
** (empathy:<pid>): CRITICAL **: Unable to contact dconf service

My home directory is mounted via NFS and I think the problem steams from there or this error is not the problem and I am suffering the exact same problem as in this thread. However installing libdconf0 did not solve the problem.

On my other two computers (not using NFS) empathy worked perfectly out of the box after a fresh install.
