Hmm, connection managers are not aware of any connectivity. Empathy is
the only one to talk to NM. If NM is not used (thanks to the gconf
key, or not running), then AFAIK Empathy will just tell its connection
managers to connect. If the spinner spins, but doesn't actually work,
then it's an actual problem with your connectivity.

Or am I misunderstanding you?
