[Bug 570590] Re: empathy can be running without a visible UI

** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #617065
   https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617065

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: empathy
  
- The default behaviour for empathy with the indicator applet present on
- gnome-panel is to hide the UI when you click the close button but keep
- running.  The UI can be brought back to life by selecting "Chat" under
- the indicator applet.
+ When there is no indicator applet nor notification area loaded in the
+ panel, the behaviour of the close button should change. It should either
+ exit the application (as per HIG), perhaps prompting the user for
+ confirmation (since this is not the usual behaviour) or minimize the
+ application.
  
- If you remove the indicator applet from gnome-panel, empathy's behaviour
- will not change, but the main UI will disappear. It cannot be retrieved
- via the indicator applet, obviously, but remains running, so you are
- listed as "present" etc. on your IM networks.
- 
- In this situation it is possible to get the UI to re-appear by launching
- a new empathy instance (which causes the original instance to display
- its UI) but this is not particulary intuitive.
- 
- Empathy should perhaps quit like a traditional program when you click on
- the close button and do not have an indicator applet.  Perhaps with an
- "are you sure" prompt.
