When I started Empathy from the messaging menu, it appeared to connect to my Gmail account just fine although it also displayed a connection error at the top of my contacts list. This crash occurred when I tried clicking the offered Edit button for the connection.

As far as I can tell, Empathy is continuing to operate normally after the crash. I did not get a similar message regarding my Yahoo! account, and I haven't had this problem occur until just now.
