RE: Idle Manager not working - help! (really need this)
It's not strange though, but expected behaviour when you use that script snippet (or the Idle Manager script or similar scripts).
What such scripts do is as soon as Messenger changes your status to "Idle", they change your status again to "Appear offline". Thus effectively doing 2 status changes in a row.
Hence, Messenger is _not_ in the special idle mode anymore and thus nothing will be done further to detect possible activity... Because as far as Messenger is concerned you are now again 'active', while having the status "Appear offline".
Thus, such scripts do not replace the "Away/Idle" status with the "Appear offline" status. They simply change your status again the moment the status "Away/Idle" is set by Messenger. Thus the Idle Manager script can't do that either.
