[Bug 725800] [NEW] Empathy away doesn't equate to Facebook's idle

[AmateurDev]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When Empathy is set to "Away," Facebook should be "Idle." I googled the
problem, and several people say that Facebook Chat has limitations that
won't allow you to set it to Idle. But at
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat/ it says under the "Features
and Limitations" Section (fifth bullet) that you can set the status to
idle using its API. I'm not a programmer, and this may be posted in the
wrong place, but is this a solution? If not, Facebook should be set to
offline when Empathy is "Away."
