very useful, yes!
there also should be a way of clearing custom messages with a max of 2
gestures..
1 click to open our pretty MeMenu, a second click to clear the custom
status, for example.

one could also hide the configuration links on the bottom behind a typical
icon with text label "accounts" beside it and a tooltip to hint "configure
messaging accounts".
