Away Message Preference Panel

I have been working on the Away Status messages a bit, and have come up 
with a new preference panel which groups together all of the away 
message preferences (from General, ChatWindows, and Appearance) and 
adds preferences for Initial Status (invisible login) and an Idle 
Timeout Delay.



I would like to add this panel to our 1.0 preference panes, but I have 
2 problems:

1) I don't have a good icon for "Away Status" preferences.  (While 
we're at it, the icon we use in the Buddies Window for away status 
isn't intuitive either...  We need a new one in both places)

2) If I add the panel, there isn't room for the icon on the 2 rows of 
preference icons we have now....  We don't want to change the width 
(because of all the NIB changes that would make) so do we create a 
third row, or get rid of something else?

If we are looking to get rid of some things....  Here are 2 ideas:

	General - This has only 4 options which could probably be moved to 
other panels
	Colors - I know we just added this one (and I love it), But could we 
do a tab within a tab and have Colors become a tab under Appearance 
Preferences.

Can folks give me feedback ASAP?  (And if any of you have a good icon 
for "Away Status" let me know!)
