I did a "apt-get source empathy" in Karmic to quickly check this out.

In file empathy-status-icon.c, a pixbuf is loaded with function
"empathy_misc_get_pixbuf_for_notification", which can return a NULL. If
the pixbuf is NULL, then the notification bubble never receives an icon.

So I went hunting for this "empathy_misc_get_pixbuf_for_notification"
function in empathy-misc.c. It returns the avatar pixpuf if it exists,
or an icon with an icon_name given as a parameter.

Okay, back to empathy-status-icon.c to see from where icon_name is
coming from. It comes from "priv->event->icon_name'... but I don't see
this "priv->event->icon_name" being set anywhere, I guess that's where
the problem is.
