As i understand your explanation, it would make sense to have 1 "configure XYZ" entry in each status menu!? I would like that and i would find it quite consistent, compared to having several configuration links in one menu, 2 in an other status menu and only 1 on the bottom of yet another, while the Session Menu e.g. has not a single configuration item on the bottom of its menu. For the Me/Messaging Menu, that would then mean there would be an item such as "configure messaging" on the bottom. This again would lead to a unified messaging configuration wizard or page, where i can pick out the part or type of messaging i intend to configure. Is that too far off?
