The chat and call UI are automatically started by telepathy-mission-control
when receiving or requesting a chat/call. In order to use your custom version
you have to kill any existing instance of empathy-{chat,call} and then start
it with EMPATHY_PERSIST=1 to prevent it from auto exiting if there is no
channel to handle. For example:
- EMPATHY_PERSIST=1 ./src/empathy-chat
+ EMPATHY_PERSIST=1 ./tools/empathy-env ./src/empathy-chat
Debugging can be turned on using EMPATHY_DEBUG=all and logged to a file
with EMPATHY_LOGFILE=/tmp/empathy.log
