Idle users alpha'd out in contact list?

[Christopher Forsythe]

Didn't facebook release an xmpp protocol recently? If so, that'd be what I'd
look at first to see if that protocol indicates idle just with a generic
xmpp account. If it does, it's implementing that as an account type as the
path to take.

At least that's my take on it.
