That is what me and other people have been calling "autostart" on this thread. The link I gave you tells you how to enable it for mycontacts. I didn't make it start automatically by default because right now it will also show the application window.

"respawn" is one step further where everytime the application "exits" the "system" will start a new one, making impossible to shutdown mycontacts - I didn't see the need because I haven't heard of scenarios where mycontacts crash and that is why I asked you about.

We don't have presence indicators on the widget (the border color around the contact). You may need to first connect to the internet/accounts and then launch mycontacts so it detects the accounts - there is one issue that I haven't been able to find yet but mostly works.

I plan to work on both issues for the next release.
