[Bug 322314] Re: "Automatically connect on startup" setting confusing - users may expect this to run Empathy on login

[Martin]

IMHO the state of Empathy (running/not running) should be remembered
automatically (there shouldn't be a need to save the desktop session).

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506311 for the upstream
Empathy bug for this.  See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79285#c14 for how Havoc
Penningtion & co solved it in Mugshot (but I think there is a better way
with the new session stuff, see AutostartCondition in
http://live.gnome.org/SessionManagement/NewGnomeSession).

Doesn't seem like upstream likes this idea but I think it's the right
way to go from an interaction design viewpoint. (It's a bit unclear to
me if the upstream bug was fixed properly or not. See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506311#c15 .)
