I don't think this is much of an issue with both presence changers (applet and chooser) having been designed such that the presences are fairly close to hard-coded as far as the application is concerned. ie. Every status message is pretty well settable from the other irregardless of which presence + status message was just set. nowPlaying shouldn't be above a custom presence + status message pairing. Re-entering a custom status message state is manually accomplished instead because kded sees that nowPlaying is just filling another slot that must neccessary be initially empty, just like the model expects from nowPlaying, where the presence is a variable constant which the status message isn't tied to. Ideally disabling the nowPlaying plugin works from a) a single application, with no option but to put the configuration in the most user-friendly place possible. b) possibly is configured -only- in the systemsettings and enabled / disabled by kconfig from elsewhere in a single user-facing place. I don't necessarily prefer disabling plugins in the kded automatically, but I think that a clean and consistently interacting set of agents and applications should take individual care of cleanup of configured status plugins on presence change instead. - James ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
