Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Since the most recent empathy indicator patch, I now get a green dot on
the indicator applet not only when someone sent me a message, but also
if someone joins/leaves.

This is usually not important to me, unless I'm actually watching out
for someone (but then a notification would be better).

Either way, even if people do want to get notified about joining people,
you can't tell that apart from getting a new message (which is usually
much more urgent).

Can we please disable the "green dot" for people who just turn up? Or
make the "new messages" state much more alerting? Right now, this tiny
green dot is way too easy to miss. I really liked the blinking icon from
empathy, which was much more eye-catching.
