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, — Ringtail, Mar 25, 2012 at 18:41

working solution, thanks, although I'm baffled that this is not exposed in the empathy preferences UI or so...
