#12850: Modifying default statuses
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  ratcatcher    |     Owner:  rekkanoryo
     Type:  enhancement   |    Status:  new       
Component:  unclassified  |   Version:  2.7.5     
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I have two Pidgin installations (both now 2.7.5).  One was installed
 several versions ago and has been successively upgraded, the other was
 recently installed as 2.7.4 and has been upgraded to 2.7.5.

 In neither case have I created any custom statuses or modified the
 standard ones.

 The earlier installation has the following statuses:
 Available,
 Away,
 Do Not Disturb,
 Invisible,
 Offline

 The later one has the following statuses:
 Available,
 Away,
 Be Right Back,
 Busy,
 On the Phone,
 Out to Lunch,
 Invisible,
 Offline

 I would like to simplify the later installation so that it only has the
 same 5 statuses as the earlier version (I can always add others as saved
 statuses later, should the need arise).

 But I can't find any way to do this.  Like others (reading other bug
 reports on the subject of status) I have tried shutting down Pidgin,
 editing accounts.xml and restarting, but any changes seem to be
 overwritten on restart.

 Ideally I would like to be able to edit the standard statuses via the user
 interface (so please treat that as a request for enhancement) but in the
 meantime I'd like to know how to make the changes by editing .xml files,
 or whatever.

 Thanks in advance.
