[Bug 549723] Re: empathy doesn't autoconnect at startup

[Mateusz Łoskot]

@Omer I think it's perfectly valid approach. The Startup Applications is
supposed to be a central place to control those, so there is no need to
scatter this functionality in the programs. The latter would be a
Windows-like way, but on Linux, flexibility is the goal.

However, this should be better advertised to users to avoid confusions
as the one that raised this bug report.

[Bug 549723] Re: empathy doesn't autoconnect at startup

[Mateusz Łoskot]

Ubuntu 10.4 (64-bit) on Lenovo ThinkPad T400

I'm observing the same problem.

First, I did:
1. Boot the system
2. Logged on the system
3. Configured Jabber and Google Talk account in Empathy
4. Verified Empathy works well and is accessible from the Indicator Applet, Me 
menu, etc.

Next, I did the following:
1. Restarted the system
2. Logged on the system
3. Asked my girlfriend to check if she can see me online on Jabber or Google 
Talk
4. She confirmed I am NOT online
5. I selected Chat from the Indicator Applet drop-down menu
6. I noticed Empathy initially shows my status as Offline and next connects 
changing my status to Online
7. My girlfriend confirms I am online.

Conclusion:
Empathy is not being launched during logging on the system, what the Chat 
availability from the Indicator Applet or Me menu may suggest. 

Either it is unintentional and incidental confusion or something is not working 
well.
I am not the only one who's got confused:
