I am also using Ubuntu 10.04 with integrated Empathy (2.30.1) and I am having a similar problem. I have noticed that if I start my computer with a wired network connection at start-up then Empathy will connect to all my accounts automatically (without it being part of the start-up applications). I am guessing that the wired connection becomes established before Empathy has finished loading allowing it to connect. However if I start-up with a wireless connection (which I normally do) then the connection takes longer to establish and Empathy does not connect when the internet becomes available meaning that it does not to connect on start-up. For some reason, adding it to the start-up applications with the -h tag is an effective workaround for start-ups with wireless connections. I hope this helps! It would be good in my opinion if Empathy was able to periodically check for an available internet connection and automatically connect. This way it would work as many people are expecting it to.
