Comment 17 for bug 322314

In order for Ubuntu to be consistent (regarding Empathy and Gwibber), Empathy needs a "Start service at logon" option in preferences which actually starts Empathy at user logon. This would make Empathy behave and have the same options as Gwibber. These two applications are about communications and work in very similar ways. It makes sense for the GUIs to have the same (or similar) options.
