#2007: Auto-away changes my status to Away while I'm active; Crashes pidgin if
disabled
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  kroyster      |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.0.2 
 Keywords:                |    Pending:  0     
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I'm using pidgin 2.0.2 on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn with gtalk and msn accounts.
 When enabled, the auto-away feature continues to change my status to
 "Away" even when I'm actively using my computer.  Mouse and keyboard
 activity do not prevent it from changing my status to Away, and do not
 change my status back to Available if I return from a legitimate Away
 status.  When I attempt to disable Auto-away in preferences, Pidgin
 crashes and cannot be restarted.  I have to manually edit
 ~/.purple/prefs.xml and re-enable Auto-away to get Pidgin to restart.
