How to make Empathy run on startup?

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. I'd like Empathy to connect when I login to my computer.

I know I can browse using the Startup Applications tool (although the add/browse dialogue is still useless in GNOME 3), but is there a better way?

Solution

You can use -h option to start hidden, i.e., no contacts window at startup

Add Empathy to startup and remember to have Connect on Startup(which is enabled by default) checked in Empathy -> Edit -> Preferences -> Behaviour
