unable to set status (for pidgin or empathy) using applet after setting status to offline

[nwadams]

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

Steps to reproduce:
1. log in to msn or gtalk or something with pidgin or empathy.
2. use indicator-applet to set status to offline
3. attempt to set status back to available or anything else with the applet

expected behavior: applet allows you to set status to available or something else and sign back into your accounts

actual behavior: After selecting offline, the applet options are grayed out making none of them selectable. The only way to log back in is to go to pidgin/empathy and set the online status in the application.
