[Telepathy] "Reset" Empathy state (not confs)

Hello again!
In the pursuit of trying to use Empathy instead of Pidgin, I've hit a
few roadblocks. I'm not yet submitting bug reports because I usually
can't trigger the bug from scratch.

One thing which would be very useful to know, however, would be to
reset the Empathy state.
For example, I've triggered some sort of bug in GTalk and MSN accounts
are shown as being online (but no contacks shown) but mc-tool reports
them offline.
I've also found the opposite situation, in which I'd see everyone
online but I was --- I think -- offline.


So I've decided to run these everytime I want to return to a "clean state":

killall /usr/libexec/telepathy-gabble /usr/libexec/telepathy-haze
/usr/libexec/telepathy-idle  /usr/libexec/telepathy-logger
/usr/libexec/telepathy-salut
killall /usr/libexec/empathy-auth-client  /usr/libexec/empathy-call
/usr/libexec/empathy-chat
killall /usr/bin/empathy-accounts /usr/bin/empathy
killall /usr/bin/empathy  /usr/bin/empathy-accounts  /usr/bin/empathy-debugger

killall /usr/libexec/mission-control-5 ; /usr/libexec/mission-control-5

I've found out this last line is the most important, otherwise it'd
seem some accounts wouldn't be able to work properly; I'm guessing
multiple MC would be spawned and something would be only half-working.

So, I'd like the opinion on the effectiveness of the lines above,
share the "script" and also ask if it would be wise to add
killall /usr/libexec/imsettings-daemon /usr/libexec/goa-daemon
to the lines above.

Thank you in advance :)
