[Bug 549723] Re: empathy doesn't autoconnect at startup

[Ole Laursen]

I don't know if this is the problem the OP is facing, for me I went to
the settings for startup applications in the GNOME control panel and
checked the Empathy entry. Then I reboot. When the desktop comes up
again, empathy is started up, but the status is offline. I have to
manually select the online status, then it connects. The "Automatically
connect at startup" is checked in the Empathy settings.

For me the problem appears to be that the command in the startup
settings is "empathy --no-connect". I have no idea where this came from,
in fact I got "Exec=empathy" in /etc/xdg/autostart/empathy.desktop. I'm
going to change it to "empathy --start-hidden" and see if that helps. :)
