I also had the theme issue once. Just change the theme to something different and then change it back to ubuntu and you're fine.

The only way I found to fix this was to actually invoke empathy from the command line with

empathy --show-preferences

and change the theme to what you want and then click close.

I cannot figure out why there is no menu displayed in empathy right now it's like they down-graded the display completely -- so frustrating

Hope that helps!
