[Bug 692178] [NEW] Changing status from offline to available is not integrated well to notification area

[Raphael Jolivet]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

This is an ergonomic problem.

It is not possible to change the status from "offline" to "available" directly from the notification area menu.
You have to select "Instant messaging" first in the "messages" menu ("envelope" icon ) : By the way, this is already counter intuitive, as everything about instant messaging should be in the instant messaging menu (speach bubble icon).. right ?.

So this shows empathy itself, then you can set the status to available
from there.

In all other cases, You don't need to show empathy itself.
You can just change your status from the quick menu.

I think this should become consistent.
