[Bug 523098] [NEW] Empathy not connecting automatically and the status drop down is disabled

[Vinodkumar K N]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When adding a gtalk account, and after clicking Apply it doesn't connect to the gtalk. 
I installed Pidgin and connected to gtalk. And somehow empathy got connected when I changed the indicator-applet-session  status to available. But the empathy status dropdown is disabled or I didn't see it in enabled state ever.
indicator-applet-session Set status is greyed. Only after starting Pidgin, it will become enabled. Then I can close Pidgin. indicator-applet-session is in enabled state. But that empathy dropdown is disabled all the time.

If I change the indicator-applet-session status, empathy status will
also change. But I can't add custom status.
