Hello again,
First of all, sorry for spamming your mailbox!
I just thought about a simpler alternative: the event bar could just
display the same thuings the event window is displaying when a contact
logs in and out. It should just use the 'logsin' and 'logsout' keys:

username + logsin
username + logsout

I think it's much better and should avoid confusions between users
logging in/out and changing status! I'll be waiting for your feedback.
Best Regards!

Montblanc
