-------------------------------+--------------------------
 When the journal palettes are being created, it checks whether or not
 there are friends to be added to the send-to menu. This check is being
 done via the file_transfer_available helper.

 The helper uses the telepathy connection watcher and, under some
 circunstances that I haven't been able to reproduce, the connections in
 the watcher cannot be reached via the DBus interface.

 When this happens, an unhandled DBusException is thrown, breaking the
 palette. In other words, the journal palettes are not being displayed
 anymore until the shell session is restarted.

 This issue was noticed running on Ubuntu 14.04.
