I'm not sure, if I got your question. Actually, I don't see another option to completely close Empathy (close = stopping the process) by clicking Chat -> Quit from the buddy list, as long as you don't count hardkilling the process (what you wouldn't do nomally). Simple closing the buddy list window does not stop the process, it only hides it until you open it again from the application window (the process keeps running in the background). In this case, everything works correctly.
What I mean, if the process is not running, you have to use the starter twice. This situation can happen either right after boot (since Empathy isn't started by default) or after using Chat -> Quit. And to an unexperienced user, at least the first case could be confusing, since he would expect the buddy list to open immediately after using the starter. I admit that I do not use the second option (Chat->Quit) very often, I just discovered it recently, while I was trying to find a way to reproduce the bug. Anyway, this should be fixed in my opinion. -- [karmic] Empathy needs to be started twice to see the buddy list https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
