Comment(by deryni):

 The issue here is somewhat simpler than that actually, the request (as far
 as I understand it) is simply to have the default Away status work like
 the other default statuses and not use a message (as best I can tell
 without testing none of the other defaults have a default message).

 This request has come up previously (possibly in another ticket, though
 I'm not sure). The issue is that the user cannot override the default
 message without creating a custom Away status, and until it is used does
 not even know that a default message will be used.

 If we currently use the previously set message (to mimic what the status
 selector does) I personally think that's a bug, and doubt that anyone
 expects it to work that way so I think we should fix that and set the
 default statuses to not have default messages. I would be ok with a
 special default Away+message status which only appears in the Preferences
 window to keep the current behaviour.
