Title:
  "Automatically connect on startup" setting confusing - users may
  expect this to run Empathy on login

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Confirmed
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  In Progress
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  Ubuntu 9.04
  Empathy 2.25.4-1ubuntu1

  Empathy IM setting 'Edit > Preferences > Automatically connect on
  startup' does not automatically connect empathy on ubuntu startup,
  instead it connect empathy to the internet when empathy is started.

  Maybe change wording to 'connect to internet when empathy starts'? and
  make a setting for starting empathy on login

  Added 2011-05-17:

  - Please note that the Gnome bug has gone a bit off track into a different issue. I hope that is sorted now.
  - With the new Unity interface this problem is even greater. Before that the easiest way to add an application to session startup was to drag-n-drop it from the menu into the Startup Application window. Now there is no menu by default. How do other applications deal with this?
