I think everyone would like to have some control over
their idle status. However, hopefully it can be improved
upon from other programs. It's pointless to have yourself
go idle, and your idle time never change, as most
programs that have idle control let you do. If your time
doesn't go up as normal, people are going to realize
something is wrong! haha. Or to start you off as being
idle for 40 minutes. That won't exactly convince people
either. You should be able to just make yourself appear
idle, at ten minutes (AIM's earliest dection of being idle),
and the time would go up as normal, then whenever you
want to appear as active, you just deactivate the
control. And if you want to do it again later, it starts
back at ten minutes. Now wouldn't that be nice?
