</div>Depends. How I see it, it's the easiest. But yeah, if I have more than one account, I might want to<br>
go online all at once. With this solution we could solve the problem for status reading "on-the-fly"<br>
by changing the taskbar icon (don't know if that's possible with plasmoids).<br>
But what if I want to go online with just one account?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Nwoki did you see how the old plasmoid worked? there was an entry for each account then one for "All accounts". Not sure how this could work for the contact list. I don't really like having a mix.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Personally I'm all for connecting them to the same global presence and getting rid of per-account statuses. What sort of nutter would claim to be away in one place but not another, but if you take away the options some users will complain loudly. Users love complaining.</div>
