This is a patch to the package indicator-me, version 0.2.6-0ubuntu1 (the one 
present in Lucid).
It stores (separately) the status messages of Pidgin and of Mission Control, 
i.e. of Empathy, and it resets them at each status change through the FUSA.

It works well with Pidgin, since "indicator-me-service" is actually
catching every status message change inside Pidgin, so the stored
message is always the present one.

About Empathy, "indicator-me-service" catches only signals about status
*type* changes, so you have to change the status type and the status
message simultaneously to get the right behavior.

I think that a lot of people actually prefer the original behavior, but
it would be nice to have a configurable option somewhere for those of us
who think of the status message as a "personal message" or "mood".

** Patch added: "Patch to indicator-me which stores the status message and 
reset it at each status change."
