Created attachment 503608 [details] who's telling the truth here? Description of problem: With Empathy set to start "automatically connect on startup" under Preferences > General, it never does. I can set my Gnome 3 user menu to "Available" or "Busy" and it has no effect whatsoever, unless Empathy is open and running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Gnome 3.0.1 Empath 3.0.2 How reproducible: All the time, 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a Gnome 3 session 2. Open System Settings > Messaging and VoIP Accounts 3. Add some accounts (eg. Facebook, Google Talk) 4. Open Empath and under Preferences > General set "automatically connect on startup on", close Empathy 5. Log out of Gnome 3 and back in with the same user 6. Make sure user account shows "Available" status icon (upper right corner) 7. Open System Settings > Messaging and VoIP, notice everything is offline 8. Open Empathy, notice everything comes online Actual results: Empathy does not start when Gnome 3 session does, so status icons next to username are meaningless, until Empathy is running. Although status icon next to username shows "Available" going to System Settings > Messaging and VoIP shows everything offline. Expected results: Empathy should start on start-up, or Gnome 3 status icons should indicate user is offline at least. Bottom line ... the status of the user show in the upper right of Gnome 3 shell should match the status of what you see under System Settings > Messaging and VoIP. Additional info: none
The me menu status handles more than just IM availability. When it is set to 'Busy' all non-critical notifications are disabled (and stacked in the notification area), and when 'Available' all notifications are shown. Marking as NOTABUG since this is a GNOME3 designed feature.
