[Bug 568161] [NEW] Empathy does not remember previous status

[Jonathan Blackhall]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

I start Empathy and it automatically connects to all my accounts.  My
status is set to the generic "Available".  I create a custom status
message for "Available", and it works well.  Then I completely quit
Empathy.  A while later I re-start Empathy, and my status has been reset
back to the generic "Available".  The same is true if I set my Empathy
status to the generic "Away".  If I quit and re-start Empathy, my status
is reset to the generic "Available".

The latter may be a "feature" (i.e. a specific design decision), but the
former situation definitely seems like a bug.  What I expect to happen:
My custom status message is preserved, even if I quit Empathy.  This is
especially true if I created a "Saved Preset" custom message.
