It's now possible to set a fixed "buddy icon" for each account, allowing
to have some accounts use the "global" buddy icon and others the account
specific one. I propose to extend this concept and allow setting and
account specific status message, using an option in account properties;
something like "Use this status message for this account:" under
Accounts->Modify Account->User Options
Use case: Tim is at work, and has to keep online it's work MSN contact. He
doesn't want to keep open multiple messenger instances, so he adds the
work MSN account to pidgin. However, Tim uses pidgin to contact his
buddies too, and he doesn't want it's global buddy icon or status message
to be used on the msn work account too. Tim then sets the options for the
msn work account, so that the account use a fixed buddy icon and has "At
work" as a status message and is happy :)
