Indicator Applet doesn't wait for network

[WhyteHorse]

Binary package hint: indicator-me

After logging in, the indicator-me applet does not connect to IM accounts. My wireless connects after login and takes a little time so it could be the indicator sees the network as down but then it should login as soon as the network comes up but it doesn't.

I have to click on Username->Chat Accounts->Some Account->Disable and then Enable to make it login. Until I do this, all options like "Available" are grayed out and clicking on them does nothing. There's also some weird text box which does nothing.

Thanks for taking time to report this bug and help make ubuntu better. After rebooting can you please start empathy and then quit it and start it again after 3minutes and see if you are able to connect and also if the memenu is able to change you status. if it works its a duplicate of bug 532446. Thanks again

Launching empathy fixes it. I don't get prompted for a password like the other bug and after I close empathy, the indicator-me applet works correctly and I can set my status on/offline from there without launching empathy again. This looks like empathy isn't running at start-up?

Whytehorse that might be bug 452067

Omer, it's the same as bug 452067. Please mark as duplicate and here's the fix/workaround:
Go to System->Preferences->Startup Applications and add a new entry for empathy. The command is empathy.
