Comment(by zzanzare):

 I tried this:[[BR]]
 1.) set my status message to a text like "Does anyone see this text?
 Please reply", and I have also asked a few people by the way if they can
 see my status message - no one so far. (not even my brother, who uses the
 same Pidgin and the same Ubuntu)

 2.) when I added myself in my buddy list I could see my status message all
 right.

 3.) I have a few jabber contacts on my Ubuntu Pidgin and they can see my
 status message all right

 4.) I started windows XP in VMWare and installed Pidgin and QIP. Set up
 another ICQ account. I tested this sequence:

 Ubuntu pidgin already started. Status message set to "test"

 Started QIP on win - could see only "Online (Connected)"[[BR]]
 I logged out and in on my Ubuntu Pidgin - still the same

 Started Pidgin on win - could only see "Status: Available"[[BR]]
 Logged out and in on my Ubuntu Pidgin - still the same[[BR]]
 Set the message "test" on the win Pidgin - the Ubuntu one could only see
 "Status: Available"

 Started ICQ6 on win - could only see the green flower (no text, not even
 after opening message window)[[BR]]
 Set up online message "test" on ICQ - Ubuntu pidgin imediately sees "test:
 test"

 Versions:[[BR]]
 Ubuntu uname -a : Linux petenb 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20
 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux[[BR]]
 Ubuntu pidgin: 2.4.1 (from ubuntu repositories)[[BR]]
 Win pidgin: 2.5.1[[BR]]
 QIP: 2005 build 8070[[BR]]
 ICQ: 6.0 build 7013

 Well.. from this I assume that Pidgin status messages just don't work at
 all. Is there someone, who can perform this test succesfully?
