I quote "......How is that a bug? It's a feature, which I presume you asked
for by installing gnome shell and empathy and not setting them up properly.
I got a solution for ye. Use a proper desktop and a proper IM client. Like
MATE and Pidgin. It'll be good.

@dudeski This is not my line of thinking. How about trying this out before
calling it a feature? I have checked each and every setting in Empathy too. I
found no option to enable or disable auto-answering.
1) I am a KDE user myself. But I would like to see gnomeshell bugs fixed
because it is very likely to be the default desktop of next Trisquel. You
cannot expect every new user to find some other DE that works, after
installing Trisquel. This is not my personal problem.
2) Yes, Gnome shell is made this way. IM is closely integrated with the
desktop. This integration seems to be a part of the desktop and IM works from
inside the DE. And Empathy is part of gnome. That is how it works. I don't
know how to replace pidgin with Empathy in THIS CASE. (Pidgin cannot replace
Empathy here. That's another topic by the way... )
3) It auto answers by default. It doesn't even ring or make any notification
to prepare the user for a call. The call simply begins.
I appreciate if you could actually USE the desktop and see. If you don't want
to replicate the issue, please don't assume things. This is a serious privacy
issue.
