** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: empathy
  
  Ubuntu 9.04
  Empathy 2.25.4-1ubuntu1
  
  Empathy IM setting 'Edit > Preferences > Automatically connect on
  startup' does not automatically connect empathy on ubuntu startup,
  instead it connect empathy to the internet when empathy is started.
  
- Maybe change wording to 'connect to internet when empathy starts'
+ Maybe change wording to 'connect to internet when empathy starts'? and
+ make a setting for starting empathy on login
+ 
+ Added 2011-05-17:
+ 
+ - Please note that the Gnome bug has gone a bit off track into a different issue. I hope that is sorted now.
+ - With the new Unity interface this problem is even greater. Before that the easiest way to add an application to session startup was to drag-n-drop it from the menu into the Startup Application window. Now there is no menu by default. How do other applications deal with this?
