How do I get rid of the groups in the contact list in Empathy?

Question

I don't want to see the groups at all in Empathy. Instead I just want to see a flat list of contacts just like I can in Adium. Is this possible?

OP are you still looking for an answer? If so, you may need to repost your question as this is flagged for closure. Regards, — Ringtail, Mar 25 '12 at 18:41

working solution, thanks, although I'm baffled that this is not exposed in the empathy preferences UI or so... – Christoph Aug 04 '12 at 12:53
Agreed, that's just insane. – That Brazilian Guy Dec 21 '12 at 11:34
