Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10

telepathy-gabble:
  Installed: 0.16.1-2
  Candidate: 0.16.1-2
  Version table:
 *** 0.16.1-2 0
        500 http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

When behind the proxy telepathy-gabble cannot connect to jabber server as the empathy/telepathy framework does not seem to support proxy (see bug 893031). While it tries to connect, telepathy-gabble takes single of CPU cores and generates 100% load (probably polling in endless loop or so).

Also, it is very likely that there's a memory leak in telepathy-gabble as after 10mins of it's process being stuck it takes around 3gigs of virtual memory according to htop's output.
