As for the, "everything works except setting the iChat status" issue, I actually got that to work by modifying the AppleScript for it. The way the script is written, it uses "" for the status message. This seems to confuse iChat as to what it should be doing. I believe that it is suppose to cause iChat to use the default message for whatever state it's set to. The issue is that the message is set before the state is set by the script. So, you have a couple of options, you can modify the script and reposition the code or you can change a flag in the code and have custom messages used instead. Being a rather lazy coder, I chose the latter.


Here's what you need to do:

1. Open System Preferences->Salling Clicker
2. Click the Phone Events tab
3. Highlight the "Set iChat AV's status to automatically when away and during phone calls"
4. Click the Action popup and select "Edit in Script Editor"
5. Change the header line <property leave_the_message_untouched : true> to <property leave_the_message_untouched : false>
6. Set the away_message, busy_message and available_message to anything you want.
7. Save the script.


The script will now use the custom messages set by away_message, busy_message and available_message. This works every time!
