[Telepathy] mission control not implementing prefixes properly

Hello,

I compiled mission-control outside my standard file system using

./configure --prefix=/opt/gtalk
make
make install

The overall goal was to get empathy running outside the standard file system. 

Mission control apparently does not implement the prefix specified properly, 
empathy segfaults because of that:


strace empathy

poll([{fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI, revents=POLLIN}, 
{fd=12, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN|POLLPRI}], 4, -1) = 1
read(11, "GIOP\1\2\1\0013\0\0\0", 12)   = 12
read(11, " \16\240\277\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\f\0\0\0\1\1\1\1\1"..., 51) = 51
stat64("/home/rdorsch/.local/share/mission-control/profiles", 0xbfa00f5c) = -1 
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/local/share/mission-control/profiles", 0xbfa00f5c) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)
stat64("/usr/share/mission-control/profiles", 0xbfa00f5c) = -1 ENOENT (No such 
file or directory)
stat64(NULL, 0xbfa00fc0)                = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

A workaround is to

cp -ra /opt/gtalk/share/mission-control/ ~/.local/share/  

Nevertheless, that should be fixed.

Thanks,
Rainer
