Public bug reported: Empathy always starts up with my status flagged as Offline. Sometimes I can click on my username in the notification area and click Available and all will be well for the current session. But the statuses are usually disabled (dark grey) until I go into Chat Accounts. In Chat Accounts all the accounts are set "On" but with the description "Status is set to Offline". If I switch them to "Off" and then "On" again, they connect and all is okay for the current session.
There seems to be no way of setting status to start-up online by default. I have read other reports of requiring dconf, but this was a fresh install of 11.04 and libdconf0 0.7.3-ubuntu1 seems to be already installed.
