Public bug reported:
When hibernating with Gaim active, and then resuming later, Gaim looks
and behaves as if it has active connections and is connected to the
network - however, it may just display how it looked when hibernate was
invoked.
Eventually, it will come around and update its status by itself, but
I've seen this take up to about 20 minutes for an account before it
notices that it isn't still connected and refreshes. During this time,
there is no indication that the user is not in fact connected and
available, unless a message is attempted. Very undiscoverable.
The only workaround (apart from closing and starting Gaim) is to
manually set status to Offline, then back to Available/Away etc.
Solution: The system should notify Gaim that it should refresh its
status, in some appropriate way. Perhaps upstart could simply tell Gaim
to refresh all accounts via dbus or something like that, or maybe a
small, active-by-default plugin could be added.
Posting bug here in the first place, because best solution for Ubuntu
may be upstart-specific.
