Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 darkrain42]:
 > What are the values of all the settings on the Status/Idle tab of
 Pidgin's preferences?

 Report idle time: Never
 Minutes before becoming idle: 1
 Change to this status when idle: unchecked
 Auto-reply: When both away and idle
 Use status from last exit at startup: unchecked
 Status to apply at startup: avail (this is my own user-defined
 "available")

 Just now, I set myself to extended away to test, and auto-idle worked.  So
 it must be something in conjunction with extended away.  There are times
 when pidgin refuses to set me to auto-away, and it almost always involves
 me setting a non-available status sometime during the time that pidgin is
 running.  However, closing and restarting pidgin fixes the problem every
 time.

 I hope others have witnessed this behavior and can document the steps to
 force the bug to show itself.
