The behavior I observed was that Empathy was not following the gconf setting. When I checked gconf, the offline contacts were selected to be shown (this was default, I didn't change it) but Empathy still was hiding the offline contacts. So this is not a request to change the default, but to have Empathy follow the gconf settings.
