[Adium-devl] Toward 1.3

[BJ Homer]

Many Facebook users (myself included) only check Facebook once every few
days.  As a result, my Facebook status is not as transient as my IM status;
IM says "eating lunch", while Facebook says "is getting married on June 20".
 Facebook holds a long-term status, while my IM status says what I'm doing
right now.
It might be argued that my Facebook status only gets updated less frequently
than the others because I sign in less.  Whether or not that's the case,
there will certainly be users who want their Facebook status to be separate
from their IM status.  Maybe we could have a "Use Global Status" option on
Facebook accounts.  If it's checked, it gets updated with all the others.
 If not, it only gets updated manually.
