Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

I discovered that if Empathy has not been started before in the current session 
(e.g. right after booting into your desktop or after having quit Empathy 
through Chat -> Quit (CTRL+Q) or technically if no Empathy process is running), 
you actually have to launch Empathy twice from the application menu to see your 
buddy list:
- The first time you click on the Empathy starter in the menu, Empathy only 
connects to your specified accounts (the status icon next to your user name in 
the panel is changed).
- To see your buddy list, you have to click on the starter again.

To me, the expected behaviour would be that if I launch Empathy through
the application starter in the menu, both things should happen
simultaneously: The buddy list should pop up and my online status should
be changed. This should happen no matter if the Empathy process has been
running before or not.
