Comment(by deryni):

 Enabling the shared status stuff means that pidgin status changes will not
 be seen, as the server will rewrite all presence stanzas (at least
 according to the documentation). Which means it will become impossible to
 set a status message for the Google Talk account from pidgin, since that
 will get rewritten by the server to the current shared message (why Google
 Talk only overwrites the message and not the type I have no idea, but
 that's what it looks like).

 Also, it looks like this patch is going to break anyone who actually uses
 the shared status stuff because according to the docs when you set a
 shared status you need to push the status-list settings you last received
 or you will clear them. What exactly those lists do I'm not at all sure as
 the docs don't really say. They seem to indicate they are a list of
 messages associated with the status but don't indicate how (or when) they
 get used or why there are multiple entries.

 Additionally, by way of patch specific comments. Manually setting <iq>
 stanza id:s is a very bad idea, you shouldn't do it. It isn't clear to me
 why you request the current shared status settings to then ignore (and
 remove) most of them when you set them in the callback handler. And
 lastly, jabber_send_status_request doesn't appear to be used at all.
