The Empathy chat client on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine logs into chat accounts (Gmail and Facebook) only after I have opened the client once (it starts on system boot) this is a bit irritating as I often forget to do it after booting my machine. Is there a setting that I am missing or is this a an unanswered bug in Empathy ?

System – Preferences – Startup Applications to en- or disable. I then also added the -h switch to the command to hide the contact list when it starts.
or try this
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/empathy.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart
sudo chmod a+r /etc/xdg/autostart/empathy.desktop

Per answer from kracekumar, I had to add empathy.desktop to the autostart directory:
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/empathy.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart
sudo chmod a+r /etc/xdg/autostart/empathy.desktop
Additionally, I added the line:
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
works for me on Ubuntu 11.10
