In <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu#Recommended%20behavior%20for%20instant%20messaging%20clients> I've specified: "Optionally, [an IM client] may also provide a message source item for each person in your contact list who has not sent you new messages, but who has connected in the past minute and is still online. It should not do this unless it is also configured to display a notification bubble notifying you that the person has connected ... For someone who has connected in the past minute but not sent you new messages, time should be set to “connected”."
So in the case of Empathy, I think the required changes are (1) add those items only when "Enable notifications when a contact comes online" is checked, and (2) set time = "connected" for them. -- Messaging menu shows entries for users without messages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440068 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
