Public bug reported:
I usually prefer my IM application to start automatically in the
background at boot time. So i it up in start-up applications in the
system preferences using /usr/bin/empathy -h as command line.
Empathy starts fine at boot and connects to various networks. But the status
switching via the messaging menu is grayed out, while being still available via
the application window itself.
The only way to resolve this, is to start empathy manually after the system has
finished loading.
I also tried without -h which would be the default behavior when
starting manually, but that doesn't change the behavior with autostart.
