I just sumbled upon a very disturbing privacy issue in the gnome shell 3 version provided with Trisquel 6. Gnome 3 has instant messaging and voice calls intergrated with the desktop. And I found (to my horror) that it auto answers incoming voice/video calls!

The only way I have found to disable this is starting empathy manually. Have you come across this issue? If so is there a better way to disable suto answering?

Try replicating the issue simply by logging into Gnome shell and call yourself from some other computer. (I used a google account in my case. I think any xmpp or jabber account will do.)
