The "idle" state only says that you're not using your computer, not that
you're unavailable. If anybody is interpreting it that way...well, maybe
there needs to be an entry in a FAQ somewhere. =)
On the other hand, if you're not using TOT, then idle still probably doesn't
work for you properly, and everybody else may show you as away at times when
you're really idle. This is already fixed, and you can either use TOT or
wait for the next public release.
However, it's not a big deal at all to put in a flag to have one never go
idle. Is this something that more people might want?

PS-I emailed the list yesterday afternoon with a description and mockup of
my idea, has anybody gotten that? It hasn't come back to me, and I'm
thinking it's gone off to the big mail server in the sky...
