Toplevel menus should not indicate state.

If you want this so badly, why not use the system tray icon? That does
what you need it to do. Or add an icon-menu item that functions like
the systray thingy?

Adding a fourth menu is tantamount to removing a feature many people
use (making the buddy list rather thin). You're doing this because
you've wanted a pet feature for a "long time?"

What would a fourth menu add? Is it so much trouble to click 'Tools',
*then* Away, the first option? Getting rid of the remove away message
facility and eliminating the 'custom' submenu would save a lot more
time. (Add a separator and then append the custom away messages.)
