I figured it would be a good idea to have the Away Menu
item in the status menu bar. This would allow one to
set the away message without having to switch
applications.
The basic idea is to use a synchronous notification
from the Status Menu to the Away Message Plugin to get
the menu item; then rely on the message plugin to swap
in the required menus. I wasn't sure about style, so I
include the same string twice for the name of the
notification.
It would be greatly appreciated if it was added.
Thanks
