Changes (by deryni):

  * status:  new => pending


Comment:

 The default idle-based autoaway message defaults to that. The global user-
 selectable Away status does not. Given that pidgin also defaults to use
 mouse and keyboard usage for idle reporting and auto-away determination it
 is likely that the user is in fact not at the computer anymore (or perhaps
 doing something like watching a movie which leaves them as unlikely to
 respond as being gone and in many ways does have them no longer present).

 I see no harm in the default wording, and no real gain to be had from
 changing it.
