Somehow the main application window of my empathy application is gone and only shows me the contact list but not the account settings window so that I can no longer add instant messanger accounts or persons to an account. How can I restore that? I use GNOME Shell 3.6.2.

Does it come back when you just execute empathy again (from a terminal or via Alt+F2)? – sr_ Dec 13 '12 at 8:09

Many Gnome 3.6.x apps have been ported to GMenu and as such the "menu" is only available from the main toolbar (it changes according to the focused app) , e.g. for empathy:
