[Gaim-devel] Away status in Gaim

[Morten B. P. <mo...@mb...>]

Hi,

The number one issue I have with Gaim, is the way away is handled:

1) You can't go manually away on all protocols without having a new
window open, waiting for pressing "I'm back!". That's annoying.

2) When just going away on one protocol, you can't see your actual away
status. How am I suppose to remember to go back when I can't see I'm
away?

I hope away handling will be smoother in the future - but I'd like to
propose at least one suggestion. What about adding a column to the
"Modify Accounts" window where the away status is seen from a drop-down
box? In this drop-down box, it should also be possible to change the
away status dynamically for each protocol (the same way as many of the
original IMs work).

  - Morten.
