[Bug 619281] [NEW] Empathy does not show inactive users who are online

[Julian Lam]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Specifically, I am talking about the MSN accounts

Expected behaviour: Users who are idle or inactive should show up on the
Empathy contact list as online (or idle).

Encountered behaviour: Idle or inactive users are shown as offline.

Note: This is not to be confused with users marked as away, just idle
users.

This bug can be reproduced at will:
1. Log into MSN Messenger/Meebo, and find an inactive (but online!) user. Remember his/her name.
2. Log into empathy, and note that that user is not listed as online, but offline.
