Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

If Empathy is open and on the right side of the screen, and you click on the green status circle notification icon, empathy will minimize to the tray, this is correct behavior, however apon clicking on the green circle notification icon again empathy maximizes on the right side of the desktop. To reproduce:

1) I start Empathy
2)move Empathy to right side
3) Click green circle notification "watch empathy disappear"
4)click green circle notification again "watch empathy reappear on the opposite side of the desktop from where it was, to where i didn't expect it."

I expect windows when minimized to tray to maximize back to their original positions from which i minimized them.

What actually happened, empathy maximizes to a different location than where i first minimized it.

3 screen shots,
1st) Empathy is just running on right side of screen
2nd) After the first click of green icon notification, empathy disappear to the notification icon as expected
3rd) After the second click of the green icon notification, empathy reappears on left side of desktop.

Only works if you click on the green circle notification icon, at the top left. Minimize from the minimize button attached to the window works normally
