"Type your new status message" window should disapear after inactivity

[Aleksandersen]

I would like to see the "Type your new status message" window disappear after 15 seconds of inactivity.

This way; users how do not want to set a costume message, but just indicate that they had to run out for half an hour; would not find them self shown as available just because their attempt to change their status was blocked by the customization windows.

Once you have selected Away; sometimes that is all you want to do.

Windows Live Messenger Plus has this for costume presence messages in Windows Live Messenger.

and what should be the away message ? the one we print in customization window (last away message): maybe he is gone for a different reason than last time ...

I don't really like the idea of automatically disappearing windows, especially not after only 15 seconds. How is idle defined? If I am halfway at typing a message, and have to think for 15 seconds, it's *poof*? Anyway, see #2895 for an alternate solution.

Replying to asterix:

It could be the default configured status message for the status. I think this is a good solution. If the window dissappears and when it does should of course be configurable.

If you think this is a good way of doing this I could have a look at it.

there is another ticket about status changement: #2895. Let's see what we decide there.

The Countdown could stop when start typing the awaymessage. When you need time to think about a msg, just press a key, so that the window wont disappear.
