Bug Description

when using the me menu to switch from "available" to e.g. busy, Skype is not affected by the action.
What i expected to happen:
change my presence status via the MeMenu, affecting all installed IM clients.
What happened instead:
changed my presence status via MeMenu and only Empathy is affected.

Pidgin successfully uses dbus to manipulate Skype's Presence status..

some noise i sampled using dbus-monitor:
path=/com/Skype; interface=com.Skype.API; member=Invoke
   string "SET USERSTATUS AWAY"

with Pidgin running, the proposed behaviour is fully implemented. Pidgin acts as a bridge between Ayatana technology (NotifyOSD, Me Menu, Messaging Menu) and the running Skype client via Skype DBus API.

It's just that i'd very much prefer to see the conversation indicators in "Chat" and not in an extra Messaging Menu category called "Pidgin".
If there must be a category, i would prefer for it to show Skype as a subcategory of Chat.
