Actually there is. If you try to run empathy again from the command
line or from some application menu, it will pop up the main window
again due to the single-instance nature of the application. Empathy
should also start as visible as it was left on the last execution.

Empathy is a GNOME application. GNOME has a system tray area. I'm
tempted to wontfix this bug.
