Bug Description
On updating to Karmic, I was a bit disappointed to see the status notifier icon switching from the useful Empathy status notification to an envelope. Given that I don't use Evolution, this is a step backwards from a useful icon to a not-useful one.
Two suggestions:
* be more careful with Evolution detection... if the user doesn't actually have accounts set up with Evolution, then don't show it in the list
* have a smarter status icon. For people who only use Empathy and not Evolution, revert to the old IM-status icons.

I realise this isn't exactly an answer, but... You do still have the option of having your status in the fast user switcher applet - especially since you no longer seem to be able to configure it otherwise!
