Kopete offers the possibility to configure multiple accounts and only go online with a subset of them when you switch your global status (I excluded test accounts or accounts only relevant to certain projects). In addition you could then switch single accounts on- or offline (or whatever) individually (like a customer specific account when you work on his project - or work vs uni vs private). The way (including the user interface) Kopete handles this special case is actually pretty good. As far as I can see, ktp only has one single global presence status. The tooltip in the contact lists already shows the status of each account, but doesn't allow you to change them. Bringing over Kopete's behaviour or something equivalent to the presence applet or the contact list would be very helpful. Reproducible: Always
