Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
I discovered that if Empathy has not been started before in the current session (e.g. right after booting into your desktop or after having quit Empathy through Chat -> Quit (CTRL+Q) or technically if no Empathy process is running), you actually have to launch Empathy twice from the application menu to see your buddy list:
- The first time you click on the Empathy starter in the menu, Empathy only connects to your specified accounts (the status icon next to your user name in the panel is changed).
- To see your buddy list, you have to click on the starter again.
To me, the expected behaviour would be that if I launch Empathy through the application starter in the menu, both things should happen simultaneously: The buddy list should pop up and my online status should be changed. This should happen no matter if the Empathy process has been running before or not.
