Empathy Shouldn't Be Listed This Way

[MM]

Binary package hint: empathy

These are really bugs more of an annoyance.

On the taskbar at the top of Gnome where the letter/mail applet is, Empathy is also listed with Evolution. This is not 100% technically correct to have a messaging client listed on a 'Letter/Email' applet. Only Evolution should be listed here and Empathy removed.

This applet is called an 'Indicator applet' but never the less the icon is displayed as an envelope which is used to signify email, nothing else.

Another annoyance, on the logout, shutdown, restart button 'Set Status' is listed at the top. What does IM status have to do with logging out of a system? This is not the appropriate place for this and I hope will be removed.

THANKS for listening and PLEASE let's be technically correct with the placement of functions such as these and not just randomly spewing them about...

I meant to say at the beginning these aren't really bugs, more of annoyance, but maybe they are bugs....

Also forgot to mention the icon indicator for logging out, restarting or shutting down, etc... has change to an IM instant message looking icon, LOL....

Seriously this needs to be changed to reflect a proper logout button, maybe someone was playing around? ;)
