Same problem here. I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04 AMD64 and used my old Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64 home partition (located on another HDD). The problem occurs when attempting to create an AIM, ICQ or Yahoo! account.
I've already tried to remove the .mission-control .config/signond .config/libaccounts-glib directories with no effect. My previously configured Facebook and Google accounts were gone afterwards however. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1113300 Title: gnome-control-center crashed with SIGSEGV in empathy_account_widget_apply_and_log_in() -> lookup_type_node_I() Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: gnome-control-center crashes when I'm trying to add an ICQ account.
