In fact, for Karmic with Empathy 2.28.1 the behavior is EXACTLY the same as in description of this ticket. The bug is now more than a year old AND Empathy is the default IM client in Karmic.
I think this is bad, especially for new users. In France it's actually normal to get a SIP account from your ISP: I think this will bother more than 1. Sure, there's always Ekiga... but... how difficult is to somehow store the contacts for the SIP account? locally?
I'm sorry... but... how was this exactly fixed???
I'm on Karmic and I can't add a SIP contact.
