Bug Description

Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet

I love the fact that fast-user-switch-applet changes Pidgin's status as well. However, if you change your fast-user-switch-applet status, it will clear Pidgin's current status message. It's not a Pidgin bug, since changing your Pidgin status from Available to Away will keep your current message.

I'm using fast-user-switch-applet 2.24.0-0ubuntu6 and Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid.
