Another user experienced a similar problem:

Empathy worked for me last week.  On Friday, I ran yum upgrade before leaving work, then ran it again on arriving this morning (Monday).  That gave me a new kernel, 3.15.10-200.fc20.x86_64, so I rebooted.  Now I can't get empathy to work.  When I start it, I see the contact list for a split second, then it disappears.  Then the window for the room I hang out in all day opens.  If I type in the room window, everything is fine.  But the second that mouse focus leaves that window, it disappears, too.  ABRT shows three separate crashes for empathy, which is suspicious.  Something lower down in the stack must have changed.  I will file bugs for all 3 crashes in case that yields a clue as to what is really going on.

Start Empathy from Gnome-Dash.
The roster opens and then closes after some seconds

Comment 15 Jerry James 2014-08-20 14:50:41 UTC
For the benefit of those stumbling across this problem, it turns out that the triggering event is updating to zeitgeist-0.9.14-3.  Downgrading to zeitgeist-0.9.14-2 fixes the problem for me.

Yes, downgrading to 0.9.14-2 fixed it. See Bug 1130769.

Comment 17 Steven Hadfield 2014-08-25 17:02:04 UTC
The latest zeitgeist packages as mentioned in Bug 1130769 seems to fix the problem for me:
zeitgeist.x86_64 0.9.16-0.2.20140808.git.ce9affa.fc20
zeitgeist-libs.x86_64 0.9.16-0.2.20140808.git.ce9affa.fc20

Comment 19 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 12:39:37 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 20 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 22:07:00 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
