#8382: Confusion in the "not seen for" (or "latest seen", I don't know) indication

I didn't see any ticket about that so I don't think it has been corrected
until now.
When you point on a contact, a balloon shows up with informations about
this contact. A line is called (I'm translating from my french version of
Pidgin where it's written "Vu pour la dernière fois" so maybe it's not
exact) "Not seen for".
When the contact is a merged one, I noticed the "not seen for" line only
indicated the smallest time, within the informations concerning the
prioritary identity chosen for this contact.
Example : I've a friend named Bob, who's got a Jabber account and a MSN
account. I've merged these two accounts within one simply named Bob, and
I've chosen to show the Jabber account when he's connected with both of
them.
When I point the contact with my mouse, a balloon shows up with
informations about the 2 accounts : in the Jabber account, it is said he's
not been seen for 4 days, adn in the MSN account it is just said he's not
connected. But truth is he's not been connected with MSN for 4 days and
with Jabber for 117 days !
I think this is a defect with 2 possible solutions :
1) Display a "not seen for" (or "latest seen") line for every account in
the merged buddy.
2) Display the shortest time in a line which is not included in a specific
account description.
If you don't understand me well, I can upload some screenshots.
Thanks for all your great work !
