I believe there is a pidgin plugin for that, but it requires an explicit recompile allowing it, as it's viewed as potentially abusive (spamIM!). MomentIM has this built in (as do some other Jabber clients, IIRC). If you use the client at work, where you may want to tell all your co-workers "I'm going to lunch/upstairs/fix a PC", it can be a very handy feature... otherwise, I'm using Pidgin myself.
