Title:
  Desktop sharing in Empathy in 11.04 disabled when chatting with
  Empathy in 10.04

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Incomplete
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  A friend of mine has been using Ubuntu 10.04. Because he has some
  newer hardware, I recommended that he upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04,
  which fixes some issues. I'm still using Ubuntu 10.04, and we
  typically use the screen sharing feature in Empathy to allow me to
  remotely log into his machine and fix things when needed.

  Unfortunately, now that he's upgraded, it seems that, when he chats
  with me using Empathy, the "Share My Desktop" menu item on his end is
  disabled. However, when I use 11.04, his "Share My Desktop" option is
  enabled, and works as expected. Furthermore, when I'm in 10.04 and he
  is in 11.04, I can invite him to share my desktop, and this also works
  as expected.

  From a user's perspective, then, it seems that the upgrade from
  Empathy in 10.04 to 11.04 broke backwards compatibility between the
  screen sharing feature of these two versions of Empathy, such that the
  newer version cannot invite the older version to share the newer
  version's desktop.
