[Bug 807723] Re: Empathy does not start at login by default

[Chris Roberts]

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu always starts up with my chat statuses greyed out as Offline in
  the notification area and you cannot change your status.  You have to
  run Chat Accounts and close it again, and then you can select Available.
  
  It seems that the reason for this is that Empathy is actually not
  running and has to be added to Start-up Applications; whereon it works
  perfectly.
  
  This was on a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04.
  
  I believe that, once the user has set up his chat accounts, there should
  be a workflow that adds Empathy to the Start-up Applications.
  
  The same workflow worked perfectly for Gwibber, where I had no such
  problems.

+ The following bug seems to contain some discussion of this issue, but is
+ reporting a slightly different problem:

  I have read other reports of requiring dconf, but this was a fresh
  install of 11.04 and libdconf0 0.7.3-ubuntu1 seems to be already
  installed.
