Empathy is now working with gnome-ppp (PPPD) connection on Ubuntu 9.10

Since Reliance NetConnect Broadband+ modem is not working with Network Manager, Ubuntu 9.10. I am using it with gnome-ppp.  But  great workaround omes with great bugs . Now my Empathy is not working, which is one of best feature of Ubuntu 9.10 release. As i am frequent user of GTALK / Desktop Sharing facility, it’s legitimate to say this statment

In simple word, if you are on ppp connection (Say Reliance NetConnect Broadband+),  empathy would not connect. It will give connection error. Here is quick workaround:

Launch Gnome Configuration Editor (gconf Editor) :: ALT + F2 -> gconf-editor

Search for “Empathy” :: Ctrl + F -> “Empathy”

In List of search result, look for “/apps/empathy”

In List of  keys, look for “use_conn”

Uncheck checkbox of “use_conn” value and close it

Now connect Empathy over your ppp connection.  Now i can say great workaround comes with another great workaround
