Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

I have a jabber and a IRC account in Empathy,
When I close Empathy, it logs out of every account.

But when I forget to close Empathy and click on reboot / or shutdown Empathy doesn't logout.

This problem results in error messages like: "IRC nickname already in use" or simply lost Jabber text messages.

The next point is standby/suspend:
Empathy should set the account status to "away" or something before the machine is going to sleep.

Otherwise there could be misunderstandings with your buddies (eg. when they to communicate and their IM-Client don't know that your machine is already in standby)

This is an telepathy issue because it should be listening to the gnome-session signals on shutdown and react to the appropriately. indicator-session shouldn't be involved in this interact. No mater how the session gets shutdown the telepathy behavior should be the same.

is there any progress on this bug? This is really annoying - people always try to write me when I'm offline already and wonder why I do not reply..

what about login out all accounts in a SIGTERM handler? Pidgin seems to do that as well.

Any news on this? AFAIK it still happens, accounts are incorrectly being seen as "online" even though they are not, like during computer standby.

Not sure where this ought to live, but it isn't in the meta-telepathy metapackages. Guessing telepathy-glib.
