[Bug 435329] Re: Empathy is unusable if indicator applet is not on the panel

[tekstr1der]

1) I agree that it should. But, it does not. Every single time I first launch empathy in a new session, it starts with NO status whatsoever. This is also tested with a fresh user profile and a clean install of karmic beta. The only modification being that indicator applet is not added to the panel and is also not started with session via Startup Applications. 
2) See #1. But also, as I had mentioned previously, on first launch, since there is no status whatsoever, it does not display a panel icon. Therefore, I need to launch it a second time to see the user interface. After the second launch, the contact list window displays, but it displays absolutely nothing for content. Just white space with a grayed-out star in the status drop-down and white space where contacts would be listed.
3) If indicator applet is not started, neither is the daemon. There is no indicator-messages-service running, so that would be irrelevant to this bug.
