Title:
  Empathy does not remember previous status

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Confirmed
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  I start Empathy and it automatically connects to all my accounts.  My
  status is set to the generic "Available".  I create a custom status
  message for "Available", and it works well.  Then I completely quit
  Empathy.  A while later I re-start Empathy, and my status has been
  reset back to the generic "Available".  The same is true if I set my
  Empathy status to the generic "Away".  If I quit and re-start Empathy,
  my status is reset to the generic "Available".

  The latter may be a "feature" (i.e. a specific design decision), but
  the former situation definitely seems like a bug.  What I expect to
  happen: My custom status message is preserved, even if I quit Empathy.
  This is especially true if I created a "Saved Preset" custom message.
