Description Will Thompson 2008-05-29 13:01:50 UTC 
Occasionally, my system bus dies or is restarted.  Whenever that happens, Empathy chokes.

<smcv> apps should cope with death of the system D-Bus, and poll for it restarting occasionally, IMO
<sjoerd> ++

and I concur.
Comment 1 Xavier Claessens 2008-05-29 13:21:31 UTC 
do you have a backtrace of the crash?
Comment 2 Alban Crequy 2008-06-11 14:07:49 UTC 
I reproduced the bug: dbus-daemon died:
[13242.487544] dbus-daemon[5879]: segfault at 7fc04dd17350 ip 7fc04b64cac2 sp 7fff541eaf38 error 4 in libc-2.7.so[7fc04b5d2000+14a000]

And gabble/salut/etc are still alive, so new messages from my contacts are just lost.

Empathy does not seem to crash but just to quit: when it happens, nothing is printed in the Empathy console, and:
$ echo $?
0

Confirming this bug as AFAIK, no improvements have been made in this area.
Comment 4 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-07-09 06:51:43 UTC 
Would be cool if a D-Bus expert could explain how apps are supposed to deal with this from a code pov.
