This issue also bothers me. The way Pidgin handles this is much more elegant.
The way Emapthy handles it at the moment forces people to leave a window open for each channel, which clutters the (Unity) launcher with applications that really should be running in the background. "Idling" is a pretty standard practice on IRC. It seems odd that Empathy leaves a channel just because the window is closed. I imagine the issue is because of the modularity of the Telepathy framework but it's very irritating nonetheless. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732688 Title: irc #rooms persistent setting -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
