Comment(by sambrightman):

 On the issue of potential bug: I believe the status is leaking. I very
 rarely change the status myself, and frequently see my status (via friend
 saying "what the hell?") as "available - i'm not here right now". No
 amount of waiting for pidgin will change that. It's hard to confirm this
 100% though, as it's still not an everyday event. I'll try to pay more
 attention when it next happens.

 There still seems to be some confusion; once again, my proposal: Pidgin
 pushes the current status when setting auto-away and pops it when
 cancelling auto-away. I believe that this solves the problem for MSN users
 as well as gjmf (besides the wording... not sure I understand why that's
 an issue). Manually cancelling away would also pop the previous status,
 unless the manual cancel specifically chose a different one... I might
 have missed something, but intuitively the obvious general policy is to
 separate the auto-ness from the user's intention.
