Description Federico Mena Quintero 2012-08-31 15:49:55 UTC 
If I go offline (for example, by disabling all network connections), the Contact List window disappears.  However, the window where I have IRC tabs stays up.

When I re-enable my network connection Empathy will go online, but the Contact List won't appear - so, it is hard to initiate a conversation with someone there.  If I then go into Gnome Shell's overview and click on the Empathy icon in the dash, apparently nothing happens, because there is already an Empathy-owned window (the IRC one).  I have to Ctrl-click on the Empathy icon to make it actually show the Contact List window again.

I found myself looking in the shell's user menu for a "Contact List" command, but there isn't one.

So, I'm not sure if this bug should be about Empathy or Gnome-shell, but there's clearly some bad interaction between the two :)
