Hi everyone,
I've started trying to use gnome-shell and would like to solve this issue. Feedback and comments welcome: > > • make Empathy change the user's presence based on the session state; > > There have been a lot of discussion about this (the most recent was on > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617207 ) and we were still > not sure what was the right way to do it. > a) Shell's session state applet pokes MC to change the presence > b) gnome-session pokes MC to change the presence > c) Empathy listen on gnome-session state and change presence accordingly > d) MC listens on gnome-session state and change presence > e) ... > > > Unrelated to conversations: there's a presence picker in the menu that > > appears when you click your name. It doesn't offer the full range of IM > > presences: it's for general desktop presence.

The general opinion seems to be that if Empathy > > is running the user should be signed in (unless they pick Offline, > > obviously) and if it's not, they shouldn't.

This seems a bit weird to me; isn't that > the wrong way to do things? There have been some discussion that Emapthy > shouldn't do the idle detection and auto-away thing but let MC does it. > This solution seems go to the wrong direction in that regard. Thanks!
