Description Cosimo Cecchi 2012-03-20 22:26:55 UTC 
See attached video.

Note that closing and reopening the Empathy contact list window will not show the welcome screen, but disabling and re-enabling an account will.

Latest releases of Empathy don't have the account wizard any more. Instead empathy-accounts is supposed to be started. Which version are you using? Is empathy-accounts crashing?

I'm using 3.3.92; what I see is not the wizard, is just a "You have no accounts configured" background in the main contact list.

Here's the screen I refer to (ignore the black bar at the top of the window).
Comment 5 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-03-22 10:24:37 UTC 
Oh right, I've been confused by "welcome screen" in the title. :)  I can reproduce, thanks for the bug.

roster-window: check which page to display once Folks has finished loading

We should still display the 'no account' page if none is configured or
enabled.

Thanks, I'll ask for a hard code freeze exception.
