Comment(by fractos):

 Sadly I've not heard anything new on this. 2.3.1 startup is now quite
 broken on my PC as it complains that "name changes too rapidly" on MSN
 accounts which is a headache.

 I'm very disappointed in the response that this ticket has received. I'd
 really like to see the animated typing icon indicator back as an option.
 If this is possible via a plugin then all well and good - but could
 someone with a bit more knowledge write this, please? I feel strongly
 about this so if someone can do it to the same effect as 2.3.1 then I'll
 happily donate money to a favourite charity.
