Unfortunately on re-boot the chat status portion has re-appeared, my
mistake. Adding a new 'indicator-session' while there is one already in use
and identified with the user will just add a new button icon without the
chat status portion, only to have the chat status portion re-appear on
logout/login or re-boot. Oops, back to square-one.
