[gaim-migrate @ 7254] Daniel Westermann-Clark (potpieman) noticed that: " In 0.67, removing an away message does not prompt a save of status.xml. This means that, unless a user adds a different away message, away messages appear to come back. This patch calls gaim_status_sync to correctly save the away messages on removal." committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
