So, there are two relevant holes in the Me menu specification.

The first is that it isn't specific about which chat client it's
referring to. When we said the IM statuses "section is present only if
you have set up any instant messaging accounts", we meant "only if any
instant messaging accounts are currently set up in Empathy". If you
don't have any accounts set up in Empathy, the IM status items should
not be present at all. If someone wants to extend the menu to support
Pidgin, then great, but they'd need to include a way of choosing your
default IM program (in a similar way to how you choose your Web
browser). <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeMenu?action=diff&rev2=13&rev1=12>

The other is that the specification started out including toggle items
for each IM account, but then these were dropped and the rest of the
specification wasn't fully updated to match. I've now fixed this. The
relevant sentence for this bug: "Each [IM status] item should be
sensitive only if at least one of the accounts you have set up in
Empathy supports that status, regardless of whether Empathy is currently
running." <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeMenu?action=diff&rev2=14&rev1=13>
