Description Ondra Pelech 2010-10-10 15:26:28 UTC 
1. go to http://live.gnome.org/Empathy#Contact_Information
2. click on the "irc://irc.gimp.org/empathy" link
3. firefox asks you what application to use for this kind of URL
4. choose /usr/bin/empathy
5. only Empathy's buddy list window appears, but nothing more...

what should happen, is that empathy opens the respective IRC chat room.

I'm using Fedora 13.
