This is broken since the upgrade to oneiric. The account information in .mission-control/accounts/accounts.cfg is still present, but somehow empathy doesn't read it in nor does it save new accounts to it.
In my case the home folder is a symlink to another folder, could this be caused by that? Or maybe apparmor could be at fault, how could I check that?
