Bug Description

When firing up Empathy for the first time in 11.10, the Ubuntu chat theme was not applied. Everything looked pretty ugly. When I went to the settings window and reselected it, it worked again. Pretty bad impression for first time users.

i've encountered similar problem + a special bonus : couldn't change preferences.
launching empathy in a terminal to get the error message reported that .config/dconf/user could not be written

mkdr .config/dconf solved the issue !

hope it'll help.
