Public bug reported: It looks like Empathy tries to restore the previous position of conversation windows (i.e. the position the window had the last time you had a conversation window). If that position was originally on an external monitor and later the monitor is disconnected then Empathy still tries to open the window at the same position, i.e. off screen and in GNOME 3 it is difficult to move it back.
