[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#589378: empathy: Does not allow me to change status via the contact list window

[Duane Hinnen]

A user came into #ubuntu-beginners today with this issue. It was
resolved with the following:

Normally Empathy uses NetworkManager to determine whether you're
connected to a network, and won't connect or allow status changes if
you're not. When not using NetworkManger you can disable this
by: /apps/empathy/use_conn. 

gconftool-2 --set --type=boolean /apps/empathy/use_conn false
