 I am not sure how many protocols have an idle state, but in general idle
 normally indicated no activity at the keyboard and hence the user is not
 there.

 On MSN at least the visual queue for idle is the same as Away, yet pidgin
 has a unique visual queue just for this status. Isn't this against the
 simplicity and uniformity goal for the UI?
