Unfortunately (depending on the point of view....) I'm not the sysadmin of the
SameTime servers and I'm not able to ask creation of accounts for these
purposes. I would be very glad to give accounts to developers but I can not :(

No, I simply quit empathy. Could not quit while I was at the office. Actually
logging off and logging in back again solved the issue; sorry for the noise.

I can now log in after editing the account by splitting the account and server
options.

Thanks for the patch. Can you push it to telepathy-haze?

Thanks, should I file a bug on Empathy for this?
