There's an important difference, though: "the app is running" is info directed at *you*, while "you are available/busy/away/offline" is info directed at *the world*. That said, I do find the whole unification proposal by Remco quite interesting. A big problem would be that Ayatana receives enough complaints about favoring certain apps already. I'd recommend going in this direction after extending the "preferred applications" stack in Gnome to IM and microblogging. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
