Description Guillaume Desmottes 2010-04-20 09:46:23 UTC 
Original report: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/566909

The Empathy behavior about showing offline contact was changed to "always show offline contacts" in order to match an usability study performed by Canonical UX team.

On a fresh Beta 2 install in a virtual machine (no previous data on home) unfortunately it seems that Empathy is unable to respect the initial actual value for /apps/empathy/ui/show_offline (true). The contact list only shows online contacts and the Viev → Offline Contacts menu entry is unchecked.

Offline contact will be showed only changing from menu, not working on GConf key.
