Comment (by EdOfTheFu):

 Here's the weirdest thing - I have a profile and I just set with the
 following away message:

 He put his shoulders back and his heels together. "To hell with the
 handkerchief," said Walter Mitty scornfully. He took one last drag on his
 cigarette and snapped it away. Then, with that faint, fleeting smile
 playing about his lips, he faced the firing squad; erect and motionless,
 proud and disdainful, Walter Mitty the Undefeated, inscrutable to the
 last.

 Which used to work just fine.  But now:

 * In Pidgin I do not see my away message, just my profile.
 * In meebo, on another account, I do not see my profile nor my away
 message.
 * In AIM Express, on another account, I do not see my profile nor my away
 message.
 * In Gaim 1.5, on another account - I see both my profile AND away
 message.

 And then just now - Pidgin had some weird problem where in trying to set
 the away message it would not set my status to away in my own buddy list
 (I was still the green dot).  So I disabled my AIM account then enabled it
 again - then set that away message - and for a brief second I could see my
 own away message when I moused over myself!  Then it was gone, and then it
 was no longer in right-click -> Get Info either.

 This is unbelievably frustrating.
