Default Ubuntu session shows Empathy with "Available" state

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

indicator-messages 12.10.3-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Q

1. Switch to a guest session.

What happens:
* The messaging menu appears. (Previously reported as bug 1046331.)
* The menu title has a green dot on it, and the menu shows your status as "Available".
* Inside the menu, Empathy is shown as running.

What should happen:
* The menu should not appear at all, because no chat applications are running.

This is extremely confusing. Even if you did launch Empathy, the chat status section still should not appear, because you have no chat accounts set up yet. And it definitely shouldn't show non-existent accounts as being "Available".

[Originally mentioned in OMG Ubuntu on 2012-09-19: "Where no chat accounts are enabled you’ll still be stuck with an annoying green dot (to denote ‘online)." <http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/messaging-menu-update-adds-remove-option-new-status-icons>]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The messaging menu works as expected, the problem is that telepathy-indicator is started by default. It acts as if it were empathy, shows it as running and sets the status to online.

By the way, the messaging menu isn't visible for the first 15 seconds of the session: telepathy-indicator is started with a delay.
