 I think there should be an option to tell pidgin to keep status message
 when going away, like for example MSN does. I use status messages to tell
 colleagues wich project I'm working on by setting my available status
 message to the correct project each day. Currently there's no way to tell
 pidgin to switch to away after x minutes and KEEPING the status message
 currently set: we can only have it default to "I'm not here right now" or
 to a saved status message. To have the behaviour described above I have to
 edit my saved away status every day... As it is the default behaviour in
 most IM programs, can't we have a similar option?
