Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: empathy
The default behaviour for empathy with the indicator applet present on
gnome-panel is to hide the UI when you click the close button but keep
running. The UI can be brought back to life by selecting "Chat" under
the indicator applet.
If you remove the indicator applet from gnome-panel, empathy's behaviour
will not change, but the main UI will disappear. It cannot be retrieved
via the indicator applet, obviously, but remains running, so you are
listed as "present" etc. on your IM networks.
In this situation it is possible to get the UI to re-appear by launching
a new empathy instance (which causes the original instance to display
its UI) but this is not particulary intuitive.
Empathy should perhaps quit like a traditional program when you click on
the close button and do not have an indicator applet. Perhaps with an
"are you sure" prompt.
