Comment (by heccy):

 Also having the same problem here. I'm reporting idle time based on
 keyboard/mouse usage and it only goes 'away' once, then never again.
 Looking at the debug window I see that the second time it should go idle
 it's setting my idle time on the servers but it doesn't actually set my
 status to 'away'... after that it never says it's going unidle or idle.

 I also see the behaviour mentioned above wherein switching to another idle
 reporting method causes the idle time and status to be updated correctly,
 so apparently they get wedged independently.

 Interestingly, I don't see this behaviour on another computer - so maybe
 it's gotten into a bad state or it's something to do with the accounts I
 have on this computer. I thought it might be related to MSN since I have
 an MSN account set up on this computer and not the other (I also have 3
 accounts instead of 2, so maybe that's relevant instead?), but after
 disabling MSN and testing various combinations of accounts the problem
 seems to have gone away permanently. Perhaps someone else can try
 disabling and re-enabling their accounts as a workaround... I guess I'll
 see how long it lasts.
