 Ok I found out what the problem was:

 In Web-activity and Browse it is the same error:
 Even when offline both tried to connect to the presence service. You have
 to add the following test to make them start even when offline.
 {{{
 try:
             name, path = self.pservice.get_preferred_connection()
             self.tp_conn_name = name
             self.tp_conn_path = path
             self.conn = telepathy.client.Connection(name, path)
         except TypeError:
             self.info_panel.show(_('Offline'))
 }}}
 I will add this and get this upstream.

 Chat is still using the old sugar api for icons. It should import use the
 following line to import the canvasicon:

 from sugar.graphics.icon import Canvasicon
