disagree, have you seen your notifications after leaving your computer alone 
for several hours with IM client connected (with whatever status)?

You'll get tons of "User XY has changed status to: blah blah"

or even when you have opened 2+ chat windows (so there are some without 
focus), you'll get tons of 'User XY is typing' and 'User XY send new message: 
Blah blah'
