I think this is still a bug. If the user menu (indicator-session-applet?) is so keen on interacting with Empathy and Empathy alone, it should ignore Pidgin's status changes. I believe it should remain grey when pidgin starts up, and perhaps not even show the little baloon icon at all when Empathy/telepathy/whatever is not active and online. Personally, I don't care much for the duplicate status options or indicators, and I don't care much for the no-option type of program Empathy is, so I really dislike being forced to reconsider by situations like this one.
Anyway, I think it's definitely wrong that the applet matches the same status that you enter through Pidgin, but when you change the status through him, it insists on starting up Empathy. -- empathy started automatically on incoming message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
