Comment 30 for bug 432635

After talking with Ken Vandine. He mentioned to bring this up in this bug for consideration in Lucid. It would make much more sense to have the power icon show for any time that there is NO IM service in use on the computer. Since IM clients can set an offline state, the offline status icon should only be used for that. This would be a definite difference between the two cases.

Scenarios:
1)
-Computer starts up and loads desktop with power icon
-user starts IM Client and status icon comes up with current status in IM client
-user sets offline state IN the IM client and status icon shows as offline to signify IM clients are running but user is shown as offline.

2)
-Computer starts up and loads desktop wtih power icon
-user starts IM Client and status icon comes up with current status in IM client
-user exits IM client and status icon changes to power icon to signify no IM clients are running
