Autostart Empathy

[Michael Cronenworth]

Is Empathy supposed to start automatically?

I'm running on a F14->F15 system (preupgrade) and I have to manually 
kick it off on login.

Sure, I could create a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart, but I'd 
like to know if there's something missing on my system.

You mean, by default? Not AFAIK, no.

Yes. OK, thanks. The status menu is setup in such a way that I was 
expecting automatic startup by default.

What use are the "available" or "busy" options when nothing uses them by 
default?

You mean on the Me Menu? If so, when you set it to busy it will
prevent notifications (Package Updates, Rhythmbox songs, etc) from
interrupting the user while working.

I see...

I've read many web/wiki/pdf pages about Gnome 3 and had not seen that 
yet. I guess I need to keep reading.

And, if empathy *is* running, it will change the empathy status.
