Description siriusb 2011-09-14 17:22:23 UTC 
After closing empathy it doesn't appear on message tray as it should. Also dash doesn't show it as a running application. Nothing happens clicking on the shortcut on dash usually, however sometimes empathy gets unminimized. The process can be found, so empathy runs in the background, the status icon next to logged in user name is Available on the system tray.

Which Empathy and GNOME version are you using?
Comment 2 Hongzheng Wang 2011-09-30 17:29:18 UTC 
I observed the same problem. I am using Debian unstable/experimental and GNOME has been updated to a 3.0/3.2 mixed status.  The problem can be found since version 3.1.91.  Even clicking `Quit' of empathy's menus cannot really quit empathy; the process of empathy is ended but several telepathy-* processes are still there and my account thus appears online.

I have the same problem on Fedora 16 with empathy-3.2.2-1. I can't see tray icon when empathy is running. When I want to open contact list I have to right click on dash icon and choose new window. This is very uncomfortable usecase.

Yeah that's because of bug #658043

That's by design. Since GNOME 3.2 you can now be online without having Empathy running. You can Shell's user-menu in the top right corner to set your presence to offline.
