Exactly like that, except it should say Instant Messaging Client or 
something which is not "Empathy".

Personally, I think IMs should be special cased here and emails 
shouldn't be included in any menu. It just brings constant context 
switching and interruption.

I also don't agree that this is the system tray again at all. We're not 
adding 20 different applications into one menu and I wouldn't expect to 
allow 3rd parties to add to this menu either.
