Description Mildred 2014-02-04 09:05:46 UTC 
I have a problem with empathy, it refuses to connect (the spinning wheel spins forever). It happens in the same context as bug #723594, evolution was running, the laptop was put to sleep when on my home network, and resumed from sleep connected to another network (work network). NetworkManager managed the connection correctly, but evolution and empathy seems stuck. Perhaps thinking they were still on the old network.

Kill all empathy processes don't solve the problem. Empathy is still stuck on restart

Which distribution are you using? If it's one running systemd that may be a side effect of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73599

This is likely related to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73599 as I am running Fedora 20 as well. I now have the newer mission-control (5.16.1) and did not notice this bug any further. Closing it for now.
