This bug is not a duplicate of bug 550824. These are two very different
issues. Bug 550824 is related to the 'Chat Status' change options
becoming disabled (greyed out) after the user changes uses the Me Menu
to change his Chat Status to offline. It is a simple usability bug and
has been fixed for Natty I believe. This Bug (452067), however, is
related to the 'Chat Status' options being disabled (greyed out) when
the user logs in and there is no apparent way to make those options
enabled using the Me Menu. This is a much bigger issue as the user must
instead somehow know that he must launch the empathy application to get
these options enabled and get to work (that's no good for new users, I
was left confused when I joined Linux @ Ubuntu 10.04 ).
Expected Result for this Bug Report:
- Once the user logs in, he should be able to change his 'Chat Status' from
Offline to any of the other available options using the Me Menu WITHOUT having
to first launch Empathy.
As mentioned by one of the earlier posters here, invoking this change of
status probably shouldn't launch the Contact List. The option "Show
Contact List" should also be added to the Me Menu. I have submitted a
Bug Report 763266 for that but it is yet to be triaged
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-me/+bug/763266).
It disappoints me that, after 12 months of using Linux and Ubuntu, this
issue which has really annoyed me since day 1 still hasn't been worked
on and yet this Bug has been reported all the way back in October 2009
and has since been marked as a duplicate.
