[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#511596: Won't connect with network-manager disconnected or stopped

[Michael Banck]

I was confused by this as well for a bit, when I had to do GPRS dialup.

I think it'd be more reasonable for empathy to assume online status if
the user actively tells it to "become available" and then try to connect
no matter what n-m says (maybe even popping up a message box where the
user should confirm, dunno), and only honor n-m's status during usual
automatic operation.
