All the above plan doesn't work:<br>
<br>
The problem:<br>
- We always (on advice from Empathy guys too) show the global<br>
presence as the "highest presence of all accounts". However this<br>
breaks using extended-away with local XMPP enabled.<br>
If we select extended away, local-xmpp (in MC) falls back to simply<br>
"away". Away is higher than anything extended away so your global<br>
presence now shows up as "away".<br>
This is makes for a very confusing UI where it appears to select<br>
something different to what you pressed, not cool.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>How about setting it to something like 'Mixed' and showing some warning somewhere saying "Sorry, that account does not support this presence, we set the rest to your required status". Nevertheless it still breaks the global presence concept, but in a more user-friendly way. IMHO.</div>

<br>
Empathy gets round this by only showing "Available, Busy, Away,<br>
Invisible, Offline".<br>
<br>
I've no idea how we should solve this, short of ugly hacks.<br>
