I'd like to flip my availability for specific accounts between on and off in a quicker fashion than drilling through the availability status panel. Essentially I have a couple MSN accounts and Skype, and I want Skype to be always on but when I leave my desktop I'd like to jump onto MSN quickly. Is there a way to do this from any current program, or even a D-BUS method I can use to toggle status like that?

I'm just about sure you can use DBUS to adjust the status' as you like, sniff the bus while changing the status the traditional way and then make a small script to do the DBUS calls you need

I actually did that and generated quite a large DBUS log already Eventually I'll sift through it but I was hoping that there'd be an easier way or a documented API at least.

Yeah, there is a lot of stuff going on in that bus. It probably is documented somewhere in the Telepathy APIs.

I found some nice Python bindings for Telepathy that seem like they'll do the trick, thanks!

Definitely, I'm going to play with it on the weekend and I'll post whatever I come up with.
