#16742: Failure to log status changes in the system log
--------------------+---------------------------------------
 Reporter:  Sander  |      Owner:
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  new
Milestone:          |  Component:  libpurple
  Version:  2.10.9  |   Keywords:  status idle unidle custom
--------------------+---------------------------------------
 My System Log fails to report my status changes. I am running v. 2.10.9
 (libpurple) on Windows 7. Regardless of what I set my status to, I only
 see 4 types of entries in the system log for myself - (1) 'became idle'
 and (2) 'became unidle' (3) 'signed on' and (4) 'signed off' ... But for
 everyone else in our organization (we have over 600 people) the same log
 *additionally* shows their actual statuses, which include Available,
 Unavailable, Don't Disturb, etc. The issue persists regardless of whether
 I use custom status names/descriptions and regardless of the 'Change to
 this status when idle' checkbox state and regardless of the 'Minutes
 before becoming idle' and 'Report idle time' values. Here is a short piece
 of our log (identification information has been changed to protect
 privacy, of course):
