Probably you can use it as a status message, I never saw it on that
way. Most people use it to put a personal phrase there. So yeah, I
think it's basically the same, the only difference is that the
"personal message" is meant to be more visible, almost as visible as
the nickname.

Oh yeah, I forgot that one. It's exactly one minute after the window
has been minimized. So the message can still be useful if you count
the number of seconds, but I would say now that we have an excuse to
get rid of those messages; we should. This should get into oldstatus
too.
