Re: [Bug 1090419] Re: messaging-menu doesn't allow one to set availability status if a chat program isn't open

 

Expected behaviour: if no chat program is open, the status should be
displayed as "offline". If I then change the status to online, all
registered/corporative chat clients should be started (though not with
visible windows), and be notified that they should set their status to
online.

Actual behaviour: nothing happens.

Title:
  messaging-menu doesn't allow one to set availability status if a chat
  program isn't open

Status in The Messaging Menu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I want to be available online, I would like to use the messaging
  indicator to become available (ie set my status to be "Available").
  However, doing so has no effect if I haven't previously opened Empathy
  (or perhaps another properly registered chat program). Also, I am not
  told that the action I just performed had no effect. I have to guess
  or learn over time.

  Weirdly, if I open empathy and subsequently close the empathy window,
  the messaging indicator DOES work to the desired effect, that is, I
  can change my availability status and it will reflect in my online
  status in Empathy.

  Also, if I have successfully become available online, this status is
  not remembered across reboots. To regain availability after reboot I
  would, as described above, have to manually open the Empathy window,
  and then perhaps close it again if I don't want to look at it (I only
  opened it to achieve the side effect of becomning available for chat,
  so I don't want to actually look at it.

  How cumbersome.
