Title:
  Running "empathy --start-hidden" at startup doesn't start it hidden

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  Using Ubuntu 10.10 + Empathy 2.32.0.

  Go to System -> Preferences -> Applications at startup.
  Add one called Empathy, edit it to execute "empathy --start-hidden" and activate it.

  Close your session and open it again. It will show the empathy window, but it should start hiddenly.
  This didn't happen in earlier versions.

  Interesting note 1:
  Close Empathy, open a terminal and write: empathy --start-hidden. It will start hidden :)
  Open another terminal and write the same. It will pop up :(

  Compare with interesting note 2:
  Close Empathy, press Alt+F2 and write: empathy --start-hidden. It will start hidden :)
  Press Alt+F2 again and execute again the same command. It will do nothing :)
