If we locked the right hand side of that display out, that's a ridiculously simply solid solution. I like it a lot.</div>

If there is connection problems and all networks fails, just show temporary "Connecting..." message.<div>
<div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div>Last one chosen is technically difficult at the moment. We could do a "last one chosen in that particular application", though I'm still not 100% convinced by this. What if you set your global presence to online, then all your accounts went to away. That's just confusing. Based on your mockup, we could simply not bold-ify any of the global presences.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Quick idea, if we only have 1 account we should remove the idea of global presence - as it makes no sense.</div><div><br></div><div>Also with your current mockup, it fails (in exactly the same way) with the status message and avatar. What if you:</div>
<div>a) wanted to set it differently per account</div><div>b) had it already set differently per account.</div><div> </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

<div><br></div><div>If an account changes status different to the global
status we need a way to see it. i.e I can set my global status online -
(all accounts come online) then change my gmail status from within the
web browser, I need to be able to see that it's changed. We need to
respond to external changes but how do we show this? I like someone's
suggestion "online (custom)", and then an arrow that presumably expands
on a per-account basis. But is this clear enough? Would you know what
"online (custom)" meant.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) What is the "global state" when all his accounts are different"?</div><div><br></div><div>What
do we decide is the current global presence shown? The most common
presence amongst the accounts or the highest presence (i.e if I'm online
in one account, and offline in 3 others) am I "offline" globally or
"online". Or is it the last thing the user explicitly set the global
presence to? We cannot take the assumption that no-one else is modifying
our statuses, so this could get messy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>3) If my account fails to connect I need to /immediately/ see this. How?</div></blockquote><div><br></div><br><br>
