Hi

According to the mockups here:
https://github.com/gnome-design-team/gnome-mockups/blob/master/shell/system-menu/message-tray-menu.png

the message tray is missing a chat switch to log on and off from chat. This is a regression from previous releases as there used to have a way to select the status (online, offline).

Thanks,

Hi

I confirm this. When I now start a gnome-shell session I have to launch empathy to be online, this was not the case in previous gnome release, so yes, this is a regression.

thanks,

Considering that integrated messaging was touted as one of the great new features in Gnome 3 (and I think that indeed it was), I find it a little odd that it was silently dropped, at least partially. After all, it's not really integrated any more if you have to launch an app after each login to make it work, is it?

In my case, I was so used to this working perfectly in all the previous releases that it took me a few days after the upgrade to 3.10 to figure out that the reason I wasn't getting any chat messages was that I was offline!
