Title:
  Setting empathy status via messaging menu deactivated when
  autostarting empathy

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
