Remember status of the last session
Every early working day I connect to Jabber I'm "available" and the first thing I do is to change my status to "not available".. this steels seconds - and over the month and years minutes and hours - I'm not able to drink my coffee and start to go.
I think a checkbox at the status options to remember the last status would be useful. Other IMs behave like this, so people who want to switch to gajim could miss this feature.
