[Bug 725800] [NEW] Empathy away doesn't equate to Facebook's idle
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: empathy When Empathy is set to "Away," Facebook should be "Idle." I googled the problem, and several people say that Facebook Chat has limitations that won't allow you to set it to Idle. But at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat/ it says under the "Features and Limitations" Section (fifth bullet) that you can set the status to idle using its API. I'm not a programmer, and this may be posted in the wrong place, but is this a solution? If not, Facebook should be set to offline when Empathy is "Away."

Some will always think you're ignoring them or being indifferent, when you don't respond. Interpreting "Away" as "Offline" on the other hand is a little harsh and doesn't solve the problem at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/725800 Title: Empathy away doesn't equate to Facebook's idle -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
