Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
Since the most recent empathy indicator patch, I now get a green dot on the indicator applet not only when someone sent me a message, but also if someone joins/leaves.
This is usually not important to me, unless I'm actually watching out for someone (but then a notification would be better).
Either way, even if people do want to get notified about joining people, you can't tell that apart from getting a new message (which is usually much more urgent).
Can we please disable the "green dot" for people who just turn up? Or make the "new messages" state much more alerting? Right now, this tiny green dot is way too easy to miss. I really liked the blinking icon from empathy, which was much more eye-catching.

I think this bug receives a higher attention rate than low; Now, I'm disturbed a lot because the indicator-applet shows green mark. Most of the time, this is only a contact who signed in. However, as the indicator-applet shows a green mark, I'm missing the conversations and new e-mail messages.
