Thanks :)

Who changes the status to away? If telepathy does than on screen saver, then
it changes global status to away, and than all accounts (excluding with
manually set status) goes away. or I missed your point?


Quick idea, if we only have 1 account we should remove the idea of global

Yes, but it does no harm too :) we also can have "Add new account" button on
the bottom to open the wizard.

Well, last line in the drop down list, next to each account, could be "*
Custom...*" or "Add custom status" button, so you can set that custom status
per account basis easily, if you really really want to :)

OR Account name could also be clickable, so it opens a dialog to set up
individual avatar + user name + status type + status message per account
settings.

But I doubt, that setting individual avatar + user name + status type +
status message is something that should be done directly in plasmoid.
