[Bug 500387] [NEW] Empathy in autostart massively delays loading gnome-panel at ubuntu login

[tankdriver]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Steps to reproduce: (fast Hardware and Broadband)

- Ubuntu Karmic default installation
- Set up an account in Empathy (e.g. Jabber)
- Add "empathy" to the list in Startup-Applications (gnome-session-properties)

What I expect:
After login in Ubuntu, I can work immediately with the Panels and Empathy.

What happened instead:
The Empathy window loads.
The panels comes up, but without any buttons or menues.
Wait ~20sec and the panels are ok.

Workaround:
I made a script which waits 10sek, then load Empathy

#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
empathy

Make it executable and add it instead of "empathy" to gnome-session-
properties

I filed this bug under "empathy", but I think it could be "gnome-panel"
or “indicator-applet” too.
