Over time, Gajim grew a lot of options to set up status messages, and it became cluttered at some point. We decided to do some cleanup, and started by removing 'default status messages' (default message for each status) in favor of status presets. An example: you choose to go 'away' (your daily walk). Instead of typing your status message each time, you simply select a status preset. A status preset can also include your Activity ([XEP-0108](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0108.html)) or even your Mood ([XEP-0107](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0107.html)). Removing a status preset is now possible from the status change window, further reducing the Preferences settings count. While reworking the status change window, we took the opportunity to improve Gajim’s status selector as well. Depending on where the contact list was placed on your desktop, the old status selector would sometimes not open correctly. We fixed this bug and also improved the layout a bit. Cleaning up the status message logic inside Gajim also lead to the removal of the 'Free for Chat' status option, because it is essentially Online/Available nowadays.
