I linked it here because I don't think it's the right way to do this, the real situation for that bug is quite mixed (As far as I see "click on presence applet set it to busy" is actually fixed by this: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/112705/ ), but anyway, using requestedPresence as presence applet icon is not correct. For example: requested presence might be online but there is no network so it's shown as online in presence applet.

But if we don't change that code in ktp-desktop-applet, we still have a problem described in this bug: there are two account, one supports hidden presence and the other doesn't, the global current presence will be busy with current code, since busy has "higher" priority. While this patch make it if the "current" presence is equal to the "global" requested presence, this presence will have higher priority.

So there are three situations:
1 account, all with full presence support -> no problem
2 accounts, one support hidden the other is not, set presence to hidden -> global currentPresence: hidden (before this patch: busy)
1 account, doesn't support hidden, select hidden -> global currentPresence: busy (still show it as hidden doesn't make much sense here).

* If I run "mc-tool request /someAccount offline". I would be marked as all offline, which is obviously not right.
 - If there is only one account, global currentPresence will be offline before and after patch.
 - If there are two accounts, and the other is online, the global current presence will still be online since it doesn't change the global request presence.

Is your "contact applet" contact list? the contact list always used current presence in the combobox, so current situation is it doesn't match and I also want to make it match... if you mean the per contact applet in ktp-desktop-applet, it's not user controlled presence so I think it has nothing to do with this change.
