Description Walter Garcia-Fontes 2014-05-07 06:55:47 UTC 
This can be reproduced in Ubuntu 14.04 using the Unity desktop shell.

1. Make sure Empathy is not running. If it is running quit it, or kill it from the system monitor.
2. In a terminal, start empathy using the "start hidden option, as follows:
    $ empathy -h
3. Notice that empathy is now running in system monitor.
4. From the messaging menu indicator applet, select Empathy.
5. The Empathy Contact List window does *not* appear, as expected.
6. Now try to start Empathy from the Unity Dash.
7. Again, the Empathy Contact List window does not appear, as expected.
8. Notice that empathy is still running in the background in system moitor.
