Unfortunatelly this can't easily be solved. empathy-chat should delegate the handling of the FT to empathy but this is blocked by https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32434
We should first focus on fixing this crash, which I did by disabling this feature for now. I opened bug #640513 to renable it.

Looks good. As long as we reenable it before 3.0, or users will cry :-)
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
