#2449: Offline status at startup broken if pasword not saved and closed when not
offline

This is NOT the same bug as Ticket #1129 (Status on startup)
This is 100% reproducible with both the win32 and the official Debian
package for Pidgin 2.1.0
Steps to reproduce:
* Preferences:
* Account without a saved password (mine is msn, if that matters, its
the only account I have now)
* in status/idle preferences
* "use status from last exit at startup" unchecked
* "status apply at startup" is set to "Offline"
* set your status to something not offline (I have tested available and
away)
* exit pidgin
* start it up
* (now the buggy part) it asks for the account password and connects,
shows my buddy's that I am online, even chatting works, but states Offline
as my status in the Tray-Icon and dropdown box
It fails both:
* stay offline
* show right status
It should be doing nothing and wait until status is set to something not
offline, then ask the password and do what it should do
Things I noticed to avoid/work around this behavior
* save the password
* always exit with status set to offline
Both workarounds are awful and saving the password is not always a good
idea
this needs to be fixed
