Title:
  Impossible to open Empathy contact list window if already started with
  '-h' option

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  New
Status in empathy package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I add Empathy to 'Startup Applications' to start it with '-h'
  option, I'll never be able to open the contact list window.

  Tried:
  - If query with 'ps -ef | grep emapthy', I can see empathy is running.
  - If run 'empathy' from command line, the command exits without any output, but nothing happens after that.
  - If choose 'Empathy Internet Messaging' from Unity Dashboard, nothing happens.
  - If choose from the locked lens, I can see the icon "blinks slowly" (if you know what I mean, I'm not native speaker of English), and then it stops blinking, nothing happens after that.

  However, if I didn't start Empathy with '-h' option, everything seems
  normal.
