Description nierro 2011-09-29 17:21:35 UTC 
As I said, my empathy status is always away when I log in gnome-shell 3.2.
And everytime I have to set to available, but then, on one hand my gfire account won't log in, on the other hand, when I swith off as available, then boot again, it seems to forget my status and change it to away.
Only if i run empathy, it seems to fix everything and all my accounts are set to avaiable.
I can't understand, very annoying bug.
Hope this can be fixed!
Thanks

Sounds like a Shell bug.
Comment 2 Florian Müllner 2011-09-30 10:44:42 UTC 
Away or offline?
Comment 3 nierro 2011-09-30 14:07:24 UTC 
Well, on the gnome-menus I only have available and unavailable, and it is set on unavailable. While on empathy i am offline.
Sorry for my bad english, hope you can understand me well!

Thanks - the user menu does display other statuses as well (e.g. "Away") when something else (e.g. Empathy) sets this status, that's why I was asking.

Currently we don't remember the last status, so unavailable/offline is the expected status. I agree we should remember the status ...
