Thread: Sorry, the program "telepathy butterfly" closed unexpectedly

Umm, what is "telepathy-butterfly" and why does it crash constantly?
It doesn't seem to affect anything I'd doing, what the hell is it?

telepathy is the communications library used by Gnome (for IMs, VoIP, IRC, video calls, etc. etc.)

Butterfly is the MSN chat plugin (the MSN logo is a butterfly)

If you don't use MSN, just ignore it
if you do, hopefully there'll be a fix in the next few days (seems the MSN plugin has issues with certain emoticons, and it craps out)

Oh, that explains why my MSN seems to disconnect randomly.
Thanks.
