           Summary: Make auto away respect (=not change) status messages
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: scientica at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I'd like kopete to respect/keep the status message I set, even with auto away.
Presently there's only 3 options (or at least that's what I see):
1) Use a static away message
2) Use "last status message" (almost as static as 1)
3) Don't use auto away, set status manually or ignore the status.

What I'd like is to have the auto away to have a third behaviour:
Change status to "away", but keep the current status message. And when the
"auto-back" is checked (the "become avail..." check box) the status message is
kept, only the status returnes to "online" (or maybe better yet to the previous
status before the auto away).

example scenario where this is desired: status is "I'm home", now I'm online,
then I go to the kitchen to make some coffee, etc. Time passes, auto away kicks
in. I'm still home so my status message is still what I want, but as I'm not at
the computer I want to have 'away' status untill I return to the computer, when
it should turn to 'online' automagically.

Also, what I'd like is the "good old way" to change status _and_ the staus
message at the same time directly via the status menu (but perhaps that's
another whish-bug)
