Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

See the screenshot, when GSM modem disconnects, empathy keeps showing online contacts and i even can start chating with someone, this fooled me few times that i did not realized that i was offline and i was chating and keep chating and the person did not reply... i further realize that i was disconnected but empathy did not aware at that point. After several minutes od unplugging USB modem, (with empathy still online), I tried replugging the USB modem and it takes a few minutes to the modem to settle and recognize, and at this point there is a notification bubble that says "network disconnected" and then Empathy disconnects....

Regards,

the real problem is that empathy does not recognize anything else than network manager for the moment.
