Description Alexander Brausewetter 2006-11-02 10:08:59 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When a jabber contact is logged in with more than one resource (e.g. x@example.org/Home, x@example.org/Work) and only one of them is available, Gossip does not favour the online connection and displays the contact as away.

When looking at the contact info, Gossip displays both resources and confirms that one is online and the other one is away.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a contact
2. Connect to the contact accout with two resources, set one to status away
3. The described behaviour will occur


Actual results:
The contact is shown as away, although it is available with one resource

Expected results:
Gossip should display the best status available, that is in order: available, busy, away.

Does this happen every time?
yes

This causes me problems with Google Talk users who log in multiple times. When I initiate a chat, Gossip seems to use the resource which sent the most recent presence, rather than the "most available" resource.

IMHO, resource detection should use priority/status/recentness in that order.

Yes, this is known about. I need to fix this.
