Title:
  Empathy not showing notifications of a second user

Status in Empathy:
  Expired
Status in empathy package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in notify-osd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  Steps to reproduce:

  1 - Open empathy as a certain user A and hide the chat window.
  2 - Make a first user B to send user A a couple of messages.
  3 - Immediately after, make a second user C send user A a message.

  User A should receive notifications for the messages of user B, but no
  notification for the messages of user C. But those notifications will
  afterwards appear whenever Empathy is interacted with somehow (opening
  a chat window, for example).

  According to investigation made by Nicolò Chieffo in Bug #476662, this
  is intended behavior in vanilla Empathy: the user is supposed to
  receive the remaining notifications only after clicking on the status
  icon. Empathy developers intend to keep it this way until there's a
  way to selectively open chat windows. Ubuntu Empathy, however, *does*
  have such a way already: the Messaging Menu.

  The code that "eats" notifications from the second user onwards should
  be modified to do so *only* if the regular status icon is being used
  (i.e. the messaging menu is not being used). Apparently, the logic is
  in empathy-status-icon.c.
