Seeing your own status

One thing that everyone asks for, is the ability to see their own status so they know when it says they’‘re on the phone and when it doesn’‘t (while to bugs are worked out). Right now, I’‘m running WF 2.6 and the beta of asterisk-im. I can add myself into our company group in Gaim (but not in Spark!) which will allow me to see myself. However, only about 25% of the time do I see the away message that says I’'m on the phone. Others see it, but mine does not show it.

Has anyone come across this before and do they have a solution?

The reason why this happens is that presence packets are ignored by your own user. For gaim to support this gaim would need to be aware of Asterisk-IM events.
