A sort of Stealth setting in Gtalk using GAIM

[kaustav_geek]

This might not be a great tip but.. For those of u guys.. who use Gtalk, and want to ignore someone without lettig him know that u'r responding to chat... here's a little observation by me....

You might have noticed that when a person doesn' respond to chat..His status automatically changes to "Idle for chat".. You can't manually set it in Gtalk...But if you use GAIM.. doing this is easy...

1.)Log in to ur Gtalk account using the jabber account.(I hope u know how to do it)
2.)After logging in.... set ur away text for Jabber...to "Idle for chat"

Thats it... now the people in Gtalk will see you as Idle for chat... and even if u don't reply to some.... u can reply the ones you want...

I hope this might help those who care.. ;)..
