A patch from Norbert Buchmuller: "There's a 'setstatus' command implemented in 'gaim-remote', but there's no 'getstatus'. For some tasks (eg. setting status to 'offline' on hibernation and restoring it on resume) it would be useful if such command existed." I'm not sure if we're considering this API or not. committer: Richard Laager <[e-mail]>
