 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 :)
