Here is my use case:

I do use chat, but I never set the 'Away' status manually - it either turns on by timeout or not at all. On the other hand, I often switch between the 'Online' and 'Offline' status.

Currently, I have to go to 'Show presence details' if I want to go either Online or Offline.

My proposition would be:

• if chat is offline, show 'Switch to Online' instead of inactive 'Presence: Offline' option in the pulley menu.
• if chat is online, show 'Switch to ...' (configurable option) instead of 'Switch to Away' in the pulley menu. In my case, I would put 'Switch to Offline', but I know people that use 'Busy' much more often than 'Away', so making it configurable would make sense.
