What protocol do you have the issue with? Let's try to see how the fix work in maverick then consider lucid but it seems non trivial change for a stable update"

For an LTS there *needs to be a way* for people to upgrade to a fixed functionality. Please make this available as a backport, PPA or *something*. The 'Me Menu' is a major feature of Lucid and very visible on the desktop and right now the availability functions don't work at all in this friends machine i'm working on -- it seems permanently stuck on "available". For some people that is very worrisome because they don't want their IM accounts to say they are 'available' all the time. I can't say to my friend "you're out of luck -- get used to having this broken me menu in your face as long as you stick with Lucid". That's just not okay.
