GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 608030
advanced settings not shown in first use wizard makes 'sametime' setup hard

originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/436537 "When first opening empathy it offers to set up chat service accounts, however it does not show the advanced settings options for each protocol. With Sametime it offers the user the opportunity to set the username and password, but not the server. This is essential for sametime as there is no default server (it is a corporate thing, not a public consumer service). Either the advanced properties should be available for the first use wizard, or for the sametime protocol the server name should be moved into the basic details section (leaving the port in the advance section is reasonable)"

Hi, is this still a problem with the new UI in 3.4+ ?
It is. If the server is really mandatory then it should have the TP_CONN_MGR_PARAM_FLAG_REQUIRED flag and so be displayed in the normal section, not the advanced one. Please report as a telepathy-haze bug on bugs.freedesktop.org
