I usually use the Presence Applet to set a presence (that’s what it’s for, isn’t it :P) and then click it to open the contact list. When I do this, there is no indication that KTP is connecting at all and I often already clicked Offline to set my presence to online again from the contactlist.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click the presence applet and choose "Online". Contactlist not opened(!)
2. Click the presence applet to open the contact list before you are actually online.
3.
Actual Results:  
The contact list says "Offline", there is no busy indicator and after it is done connecting, the contact list fills and the presence changes to Available.

Expected Results:  
The same that happens when the contact list is already opened when connecting: There is a busy indicator in the presence selector indicating progress going on.

Maybe a busy indicator overlaid over the presence applet itself while connecting would be handy as well.
