Comment 28 for bug 452067

I think our wires are crossed, of course I agree with you that accounts need to be specified before the user can "go online". My issue is that every time I boot my machine I need to open empathy once per session to activate the Me Menu otherwise the "Change Status" options are disabled (greyed out) for the entire session (my accounts were configured long ago). I'm running the Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2 so the bug 550824 issue has been fixed on my machine where as the issue from bug 452067 still remains..
