 This has never worked, and I've assumed it was some confusing design
 decision.  But after searching I can find no definitive statement or pre-
 existing bug, thus...

 When a buddy's status is Do Not Disturb, and they then become Away, the
 buddy icon changes to the away icon, but pounces set to trigger when a
 buddy "Goes away" do not fire.

 Conversely, when a buddy is Away, and returns to a Do Not Disturb status.
 Their icon changes properly, but pounces set to trigger on "Returns from
 away" do not fire.

 This is certainly true for Google Talk, which is what I primarily use
 Pidgin for.  But I think it applies to other protocols as well.

 Transitions between Available and Away work as expected and fire these
 pounces.  Pidgin is clearly aware of the DND-Away transitions, it should
 fire pounces on them too.

 Behavior was observed on Windows.
