I think the bottom line is really that for me, topics are only displayed for channels I'm autoconnected to. I added #scribus to that list yesterday (so it now consists of that plus #debian-games and #ubuntu- motu). After empathy started up today (automatically right after login), I got auto-connected to those three channels, and they all had their subjects displayed. When i manually logged into #pygtk (and other channels), their topics weren't shown.
