GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 648106
My account just below IM presence in me-menu is confusing

I would expect "My account" to open empathy's accounts settings because it is just below the IM presence available/busy, and the me-menu as a chat icon so it make me think it is about IM settings...

Please please please stop calling it "me-menu" - status menu, user menu, user status menu, ... The real bug here seems to be that the status is only associated with IM status, while it is actually intended as "session status" (so IM status is part of it, but it also influences other stuff, e.g. notifications in the message tray ...)
(In reply to comment #1) > Please please please stop calling it "me-menu" - status menu, user menu, user > status menu, ... How is that called then? It has my name and it is a menu => me-menu :) > The real bug here seems to be that the status is only associated with IM > status, while it is actually intended as "session status" (so IM status is part > of it, but it also influences other stuff, e.g. notifications in the message > tray ...) I still don't understand what "session status" can mean, if the purpose is to make notification less intrusive when busy, call it "block notifications" :) For me it is chat icon, availab/busy are common IM terminology, so it seems really designed to be an IM menu...
This issue has been rendered moot by the work done on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675802
