  [Impact]
  ========
  Individuals who have abiword and a telepathy-based client (like Empathy) installed and who have set up their online account with Ubuntu will see Abiword open a blank document every time they log in!

  Lubuntu is the only Ubuntu 16.04 LTS flavor to ship Abiword and Ubuntu
  GNOME is the only one to still include empathy by default. (Xubuntu
  included Abiword until 15.10 and Ubuntu included Empathy before
  16.04.)

  [Test Case]
  ===========
  1. Install abiword and empathy
  2. Run empathy

  What happens
  ------------
  Empathy starts...but so does Abiword!

  What should happen
  -------------
  Empathy starts. Abiword doesn't start unless you specifically start Abiword.

  [Regression Potential]
  ======================
  Low. The Abiword packaging in Debian and Ubuntu mistakenly did not include /usr/share/telepathy/clients/AbiCollab.client in the abiword package. This has been fixed in Debian "testing" and Ubuntu 16.10 development.

  [Original Bug Report]
  ===================
  I upgraded to Ubuntu 15.04 some days ago. Not so much problem noticed since then, but only one (not a fatal one though): abiword - for some reason - always starts (automatically, without any user interaction) after logging in (to unity desktop). For sure, I can close it, but it's kinda strange it happens anyway, and I can't tell why. I could only find the following page which describes something similar (but I guess it's more on the gnome3 desktop from the OP, I mean about the "regular" Unity desktop of Ubuntu):
