Automatic start of Empathy when logging into Ubuntu

Empathy is a chat application compatible with Facebook, Google Talk, ...  It is installed by default in the current releases of Ubuntu.  

It is currently impossible to configure Empathy to start it when you log on to Ubuntu. With an easy workaround, it can be started automatically:

• Start a terminal window (e.g. Ctrl-Alt-T)
• Run: "sudo cp /usr/share/applications/empathy.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart"
