Bug Description
Empathy is up and running and I can chat. I have accounts with Facebook, Google Talk, Yahoo!, and Nearby (broadcast). The drop down menu under the envelope shows that I am Offline b ut I am not. And, I can not change the status to other than offline. I attached my /etc/network/
I should be able to change my status to any of Available, Away, Busy, or Invisible. Clicking on any of those selections results in nothing. My status is not changed nor is the indicator.
Thanks you.

I can reproduce this bug in Precise: I can't set the status to Available from Offline using the MessagingMenu. Funnily enough, changing the status to Away works, then I can switch to any status. At least there is a workaround. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I am running empathy as a startup application with empathy -h.
