Title:
  User Switcher Applet (FUSA) icons do not match Pidgin

Status in Pidgin:
  Unknown
Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Judging from bug #262083, the icons in the user switcher applet came
  from Empathy.

  Currently, Pidgin is the default IM client in Ubuntu. The icons in the
  FUSA don't match the icons in Pidgin, which is confusing and ugly.

  Even if Pidgin weren't the default IM client, how on earth does a red
  triangle mean someone is away?

  For those looking for a work-around, the following shell commands will divert 
the FUSA icons away and symlink in the Pidgin ones:
      dir=/usr/share/fast-user-switch-applet/icons/hicolor
      for status in offline busy online away ; do
          for size in 16 22 32 48 ; do
              file=$dir/${size}x${size}/status/user-$status.png
              dpkg-divert --divert $file.fusa --rename $file
              [ $status = "online" ] && status=available
              ln -s /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/status/$size/$status.png $file
          done
      done
