** Description changed:

  Ubuntu always starts up with my chat statuses greyed out as Offline in
  the notification area and you cannot change your status.  Running Chat
  Accounts from the notification area and closing it again enables you to
  select Available.  Alternatively running Chat from the notification area
  or Empathy from the menu enables you to select Available.
  
  This is on a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04.

- running. I tried adding to start-up applications, but whilst this solved

- time to time, forcing me to kill X and start again.

- I believe that, once the user has set up his chat accounts, there should
- be a workflow that adds an Empathy daemon to the Start-up Applications.

  The following bug seems to contain some discussion of this issue, but is
  reporting a slightly different problem:

  I have read other reports of requiring dconf, but this was a fresh
  install of 11.04 and libdconf0 0.7.3-ubuntu1 seems to be already
  installed.
