Description:
Empathy should make use of NetworkManager, as both are GNOME technologies.

Benefits:
Empathy would notice when connection is lost, and go offline, and reconnect as soon as the connection is reestablished.

Gives a more integrated feeling, when running the whole GNOME desktop.

even is a part of GNOME desktop i don't want to add support for it. there are a lot of users who doesn't use networkmanager and i don't want to force them to download this.

I understand, but wouldn't Pidgin be the choice for them?

UI is only slightly different, and it's more independent.

Your decision, I was thinking it would be nice, if we could deliver GNOME desktop which is as good as in all the other distros.
