Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

might be similar to the older one:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/290471
which was about fusa, but today i'd expect empathy to hide it's own icon by default or at least give an configurabel option in its settings to hide the taskbarmenu icon

=> possibly came with recent updates to libindicate

=> empathy lost connection to indicator applet / me menu

sry to say, it doesn't have any affect if clicking

Only right click opens a context menu to hide / show the buddy list.
