First, I'd like to point out that on my system, Empathy doesn't even set the "People Nearby" avatar to the MeMenu one. It just does nothing when you change the Me Menu avatar. So Bug #583121 isn't an exact duplicate of this.
As well, reading this report, I'm pretty confused as to how this is "wishlist"? This is implied functionality in all the promotional work that went into the Lucid release. I mean, just look at the current features tour place: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/1004features More specifically, this text that accompanies the picture of the MeMenu: "Connect to your chat channels and make updates through a single window." Accompanied by an image of the online status indication (which doesn't work, due to bug #574661), and of the user's Avatar picture interface (which doesn't work, due to this bug). >From the people I've asked, they all assume this would work out of the box, and consider its absense a bug, not a new feature idea. -- Use avatar from MeMenu in empathy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/548592 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
