[Bug 865766] Re: Empathy does not return from idle to online status when user returns from being away

 

Upstream considers this to be a gnome-shell problem, since that is
responsible for managing idle presence in Gnome 3.

** Also affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Empathy does not return from idle to online status when user returns
  from being away

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Invalid
Status in GNOME Shell:
  Unknown
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  As far as I know, Empathy's auto-away status is supposed to work like
  this: when I leave my computer, GNOME detects the idle time of 10
  minutes (or whatever), blanks the screen, and puts Empathy in "away"
  status. In previous versions, Empathy would come back to "available"
  status when I became active again. This does not happen anymore.
  Empathy goes "away" properly at idle time, but never goes back to
  "available" until I set the status manually.

  This is up-to date Oneiric, running gnome-shell.
