I'll give the "bug report" first. Basically, I guess I don't go idle. But it's pretty intermittent when I have this problem. I've had people tell me that when they IM'ed me (and I was away from the computer) that I have been idle, and that I wasn't idle.
I have no idea how to tell what is stopping Adium from seeing I'm idle. The thing is, my screensaver/engery saver goes off every time and the screen doesn't come back on randomly either. I tried setting the idle autoresponce, but that has stopped from coming up too. They don't see the away message, and they don't get it as an autorepsonce.
So I figured "hey, I need to put up an away message instead". Well, I suck at that. I was wondering if there could be an option in the preferences that lets the little away message status window stay up as a regular window. So that when I don't have Adium as the main application, it won't disappear.
