[Telepathy] Why is network manager required?

[Rainer Dorsch]

I verified that and can confirm it....I had installed network-manager but I 
was not using it and it was not configured.

Removing network-manager made empathy working without the change in empathy.

Not sure, if it is worth to give the user a more meaningful message in this 
case.
