[Bug 663257] [NEW] Running "empathy --start-hidden" at startup doesn't start it hidden

[yajo]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Using Ubuntu 10.10 + Empathy 2.32.0.

Go to System -> Preferences -> Applications at startup.
Add one called Empathy, edit it to execute "empathy --start-hidden" and activate it.

Close your session and open it again. It will show the empathy window, but it should start hiddenly.
This didn't happen in earlier versions.

Interesting note 1:
Close Empathy, open a terminal and write: empathy --start-hidden. It will start hidden :)
Open another terminal and write the same. It will pop up :(

Compare with interesting note 2:
Close Empathy, press Alt+F2 and write: empathy --start-hidden. It will start hidden :)
Press Alt+F2 again and execute again the same command. It will do nothing :)
