I think the point that our default desktop should include a working IRC client is a valid one, seeing as how IRC is one of our primary methods of community support. I've been able to use telepathy-idle successfully. I removed my existing GConf keys and ~/.config/Empathy folders to try to experience defaults for a new user. I was able to connect to FreeNode using the dropdown list, join a channel, and send and receive messages properly. Brian, you may want to check to see if old settings from F10/F11 Empathy may interfere with current Empathy, and if so, how to deal with them. I support making this part of the F12 requires if possible. A change will require appropriate rel-eng ticketing and so forth. -- Paul W.
