Empathy in messaging menu should have custom actions

[Michael]

Binary package hint: empathy

When used with Indicator Applet, the main Empathy window should have "Quit" and "New conversation" menu items, as these are normally accessed via the Empathy tray icon which is not available in this case.

Thanks for the report, what's your suggestion ? could you make a mockup showing where those buttons would be located?. thanks.

Oh dear, I'm not very good at mock-ups (I'm a developer, not a GUI designer :) ). Is it enough if I describe how I think this might be solved?

"New conversation..." (and maybe also "New call..." is probably best located in the Indicator Applet drop-down (like Evolution adds an entry for "New message"). More importantly, "Quit Empathy" should probably be located at the bottom of the the Conversation menu in the conversation window, under "close".

This has been fixed, so I'm marking it as Fix Released. Thanks for reporting it though!
