Description Stephen Gallagher 2013-05-31 20:35:06 UTC 
I have some services that are not available at startup (I need to connect to a VPN before they will be able to access their resources). So I wanted to configure Empathy so that it wouldn't attempt to auto-connect until I manually launched it.

However, after unsetting "Automatically connect on startup" in the preferences dialog and rebooting my system, it continued to attempt to connect (and bombard me with error messages about the unreachable services).

I am running on Fedora 19 beta with empathy-3.8.3-1.fc19.x86_64
