(09:10:33 AM) kenvandine: well... more like a disaster :) (09:10:52 AM) ted: kenvandine: It's just that the session menu starts telepathy. (09:10:58 AM) kenvandine: yeah (09:11:05 AM) ted: So we don't want that then? (09:11:10 AM) kenvandine: well (09:11:23 AM) kenvandine: i like that feature (09:11:24 AM) kenvandine: but (09:11:30 AM) kenvandine: we need a way to deal with pidgin users (09:11:49 AM) ted: What do you mean? (09:11:54 AM) ted: It doesn't start Pidgin. (09:11:57 AM) kenvandine: although... if you have no accounts configured in telepathy... i guess you won't get IMs that way anyway (09:12:00 AM) kenvandine: i know (09:12:15 AM) ted: Yes. You have to have accounts enabled. (09:12:26 AM) kenvandine: if you are a pidgin user, and you get an IM... it starts empathy (09:12:30 AM) kenvandine: so maybe that is the answer (09:12:39 AM) kenvandine: if you don't want to use empaty, don't enable it :) (09:12:44 AM) ted: Exactly. (09:12:55 AM) kenvandine: actually (09:12:59 AM) kenvandine: one step better (09:13:18 AM) kenvandine: what if we first try to set status in pidgin, if pidgin is running don't touch telepathy? (09:13:56 AM) kenvandine: i could see people experimenting with empathy, and assuming if they exit the program and use pidgin (09:13:59 AM) ted: That seems a little crazy to me, as the behavior changes based on whether Pidgin is running? (09:14:01 AM) kenvandine: they will only be using pidgin (09:14:10 AM) ted: I don't know how a user would discover that. (09:14:15 AM) kenvandine: yeah... not claiming to have all the answers :) (09:14:28 AM) ted: The answer is to uninstall Pidgin on upgrade :) (09:14:40 AM) kenvandine: :) (09:15:50 AM) ted: So, none the less, it's fixable. I like it the way that it is, but you guys can choose. Personally, I'd document how to disable accounts in Empathy so that you're working on migrating people... it's the final end goal.
