So almost three years after the initial bug report, 75 people concerned, what is the current status? Does it really take that long to change a sentence in a software?
And to add the other option of "really" connect on startup (=session launch), other users have rightfully pointed that it would be trivial to implement. What gives? Yup there are concerns about privacy and whatnot, but just set it to "false" by default and problem solved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322314 Title: "Automatically connect on startup" setting confusing - users may expect this to run Empathy on login Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Triaged Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy Ubuntu 9.04 Empathy 2.25.4-1ubuntu1 Empathy IM setting 'Edit > Preferences > Automatically connect on startup' does not automatically connect empathy on ubuntu startup, instead it connect empathy to the internet when empathy is started. Maybe change wording to 'connect to internet when empathy starts'? and make a setting for starting empathy on login Added 2011-05-17: - Please note that the Gnome bug has gone a bit off track into a different issue. I hope that is sorted now. - With the new Unity interface this problem is even greater. Before that the easiest way to add an application to session startup was to drag-n-drop it from the menu into the Startup Application window. Now there is no menu by default. How do other applications deal with this?
