[Bug 941463] Re: empathy automatically start on login doesnot work

[GuiMaster]

H-Bomb is correct, this bug has occured in every version of Ubuntu since
the switch to Empathy. New users do not know how to configure a program
to auto-start. Even somewhat experienced users will not know the command
needed to force a program like Empathy to start (usr/bin/empathy -h).

After a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04, on first boot the Messaging Menu
will set the users status to "Offline" by default. If a user changes
their status to "Available," "Away," "Busy," or "Invisible" and then
restarts or shuts down the computer, the Messaging Menu will default
back to "Offline" on the next boot. A new Ubuntu adopter will be forced
to set their status to "Available" after every single boot, which would
result in much frustration.
