Bug Description
Judging from bug #262083, the icons in the user switcher applet came from Empathy.
Currently, Pidgin is the default IM client in Ubuntu. The icons in the FUSA don't match the icons in Pidgin, which is confusing and ugly.
Even if Pidgin weren't the default IM client, how on earth does a red triangle mean someone is away?
For those looking for a work-around, the following shell commands will divert the FUSA icons away and symlink in the Pidgin ones:
dir=
for status in offline busy online away ; do
for size in 16 22 32 48 ; do
[ $status = "online" ] && status=available
ln -s /usr/share/
done
done
