I have just thought of a simple solution that could make the problem of not automatically launching Empathy less bad, based on my own behaviour and expectations.

I suggest that MeMenu could launch Empathy if the user click on "Online" or "Away", or any state other than "Offline". This way, on standard startup the MeMenu would show that the user is offline (because Empathy has not been launched) and if he wants to go online he just has to click on "Online".

What do you think? It would be an Ubuntu only change which won't annoy Gnome or Empathy. There is still the issue of choosing which IM client to launch if Pidgin is installed for example.
