Title:
  Empathy uses the disk too often

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  Summary
  ************
  This one makes little sense to me and I have no idea how to debug. The problem is that no matter what I do, send a message on AIM, or resize the list of chatters in an IRC room; Empathy noisily writes to the hard disk while I am doing this action, but only while I do it. It just seems to be a needless amount of wear and tear on the hard disk

  How to reproduce
  ***********************
  Join a chat room on IRC. Resize the side pane that shows the list of folks in the room, the disk noisily writes constantly while you move the pane. It ceases immediately when you stop resizing the pane. You can also send a message to someone on AIM (not sure about other clients). Every message you send you can hear the disk clicking for a second, to the point it even gets distracting after a while.
