How do I get rid of the groups in the contact list in Empathy?

Question

I don't want to see the groups at all in Empathy. Instead I just want to see a flat list of contacts just like I can in Adium. Is this possible?

OP are you still looking for an answer? If so, you may need to repost your question as this is flagged for closure. Regards,

Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Then:

dconf-editor

Browse according to this list:

Unpick show-groups.

working solution, thanks, although I'm baffled that this is not exposed in the empathy preferences UI or so... – Christoph Aug 4 '12 at 12:53

Agreed, that's just insane. – ruda.almeida Dec 21 '12 at 11:34
