Oh yes, i did do that...but it didn't work!
Am i missing something else?
1)Click availability
2) Click new status
3) click through each account setup and decide whether you want on or offline. eg. I have a status called work which is Facebook offline, Gchat -busy, Skype-online
4) Name your status and click save
5) Select the status that you just named and it should log you into the desired services selectively.
