(Get the code!)
H-Bomb is correct, this bug has occured in every version of Ubuntu since the switch to Empathy. New users do not know how to configure a program to auto-start. Even somewhat experienced users will not know the command needed to force a program like Empathy to start (usr/bin/empathy -h).
After a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04, on first boot the Messaging Menu will set the users status to "Offline" by default. If a user changes their status to "Available," "Away," "Busy," or "Invisible" and then restarts or shuts down the computer, the Messaging Menu will default back to "Offline" on the next boot. A new Ubuntu adopter will be forced to set their status to "Available" after every single boot, which would result in much frustration.
