Title:
  Cannot set status in Unity messaging menu with Empathy chat account

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As a user of skype and pidgin I would like those applications to be
  able to read my status from the Unity messaging indicator (not sure if
  that is the right term).   Through skype-wrapper and other tools I can
  do this.  However, unless the following conditions are met, I am
  unable to select a status in the menu -- it always selects "Offline".

  1) Empathy must be installed (I don't use it, so this was a drag)
  2) Empathy must have at least one non-IRC telepathy account enabled (this is also a bummer, but I didn't have one previously)

  I think that users should be able to select their "status" at any time
  regardless of what Unity thinks is installed or configured as their
  could be many more application that can drive and be driven from that
  status.
