After some of latest updates (12.04 LTS), opening urls from Empathy broke.

Clicking a link in conversation window only displays dialog "Unable to open URI, Operation not supported": http://www.foopics.com/showfull/0f0f1a5d5b07b87ea9bdce8067220383

I'm quite certain this worked fine before, and is not result of any misconfiguration as as of this writing, this also happens on my friends installation.
