Can also confirm this. Changing the status from pidgin updates the fast-user-switch-applet, but not the other way around. If you need further data, I'll be glad to provide it.

I confirm this. On launching Pidgin, using the fast user switch applet alone I can change the status to Online, Offline and Busy. Changing status to Away does not work.
