I think this is an issue with the indicator-session-applet talking to
mission-control (via libempathy) to set the status.  It supports pidgin
as well, but I don't think it makes a decision which to use.  Perhaps it
should.  So it sets your status as online, which tells mission-control
you are only.   It does not need empathy to be running to do this, and
you appear to be online to your contacts.  If they send an email,
telepathy handles the incoming message because it is online even though
you have no client running and spawns the client so you can read the
message.

Overall this is pretty cool behavior, but we should be able to make a
decision how you would prefer to handle your messages.

Let's get thoughts from Ted.
