RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Due to the avatar image caching not being done asynchronously, gnome-shell can freeze if you add a chat account with lots and lots of contacts (eg., Google or Facebook).

This has been fixed upstream. We should backport it to RHEL7.

Waiting for bug 1081520 to be fixed.

this is not a dependency, there is a workaround there in bug 1081520#c10 and this has nothing to do with that as can be verified using other accounts as well.

I don't see any Facebook avatars in new (telepathy-glib-0.20.4-5.el7.x86_64), nor old (telepathy-glib-0.20.4-1.el7.x86_64) telepathy-glib. I see only Google Plus avatars.

I run: rm -r ~/.cache and added Facebook and Google accounts.
I haven't noticed any GS freeze in old or new version. Avatars just become gradually available in about a minute. I have tested GS Activities search and Empathy.
