I see your point, hmmm.. the issue is when you open preferences from the unity launcher with a right click, it is actually running "empathy -p" which runs empathy and raises the preferences dialog. Then you close the contact list window, activating empathy again to raise it seems to use the "-p" argument that was passed to empathy previously. It looks like empathy is remembering the state, i have reproduced this just by running it from a terminal.
1) without empathy running, run "empathy" in a terminal 2) close the contact list window 3) in another terminal, run "empathy -p", this will raise the contact list and open a preferences window 4) close the contact list and preferences windows again 5) run "empathy" in a terminal, this will raise the contact list and open the preferences window So this rules out unity, compiz, or the messaging menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986983 Title: Opening Empthay from the Indicator also opens the Preference window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/986983/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
