-------------------------------+-----------------
 == Preconditions: ==

 * tor-messenger v0.1.0b3 en-US linux 32-bit
 * Xubuntu 14.04 32-bit (bug demonstrated on VirtualBox VM, with a Mac OS X
 host)

 == Description: ==

 User who is added by other contacts doesn't seem to have to presence
 authorization work for them, but the other contacts

 Furthermore, there is no affordance in the UI to re-request presence
 authorization. I had to fix it by logging into Pidgin, re-requesting
 presence authorization, then logging back into tor-messenger once
 resolved.

 == Steps: ==

 1. Create a new Jabber/XMPP account. I used jabber.ccc.de
 2. On another computer & messenger client (I used tor-messenger 0.1.0b3
 Mac OS X) add the newly created account as a contact.
 3. Accept the request to begin a chat.
 4. (Optional) You can chat, verify OTR as normal

 == Expected: ==

 After accepting chat request, I request presence authorization to the
 contact who added me and I'm able to see the online status of my contact.
 And gives me the ability to re-request at a later date.

 == Actual: ==

 Unable to view the online status of my contact, with no ability to request
 authorization for online presence.
