Comment 15 for bug 253765

Empathy is NOT ready for prime time:
a) It keeps switching back to available when set away. I know, it's a "feature", but a damn annoying one, that cannot be disabled.
b) Can't remember status, or set which status is default.
c) The window position isn't reliably saved, switch workspace a few times, and *boom* it's on the left.
d) It's generally incomplete.

Why in the world was this chosen to be default?
