Does anyone, frequently, use a complex status?  And if so, was it a pain
to set it up?

Let's calm down, and think about how this could be accomplished as well
as making everyone happy.  To me, who has never used or cared to use a
complex status, dropping it for a more simple solution seems like the
right thing to do(tm).  However, I am all for making complex statuses
possible through other means, a preference, a plugin, whatever.  And if
that doesn't make sense, I hope you have the mystatusbox plugin loaded,
since that's a very similar reason as to why the status selectors for
each account got nuked.
