Maybe change wording to 'connect to internet when empathy starts'? and make a setting for starting empathy on login Added 2011-05-17: - Please note that the Gnome bug has gone a bit off track into a different issue. I hope that is sorted now. - With the new Unity interface this problem is even greater. Before that the easiest way to add an application to session startup was to drag-n-drop it from the menu into the Startup Application window. Now there is no menu by default. How do other applications deal with this?
