It’s the first time in my life that I’ve modified a source code for my own use. I don’t understand the changes on empathy and I particulary hate the big size on contact list.

Now I can still use empathy on my way.

Thank you, thank you very much!

Are you sure that you’ve applied exactly all the instruction ?

But as the contact list was completely re-skinned, I don’t think that simply reverting this commit will help. There must have been discussion on this topic and the removal of this feature was obviously not accidental. I would be happy to know where we could get information on future developments or current discussions. Besides, it should also be noted that 12.10 Ubuntu has a quite old version (3.6.3) of empathy and that Gnome current version is around 3.8.1 and the last version is not so straightforward to install on 12.10 Ubuntu, and having used and tested this last version might be a natural prerequisite to any complaints.

In the meantime, this patch brought my empathy back up to my expectation.

It seems the better way than patching in the long run. I certainly sent an email.
