It will be so nice to set Online status and a Custom Status set for Online status was set automatically.
So, user can set his\her Custom Status messages for every Presence status and then just switch between that statuses.
And for Auto Away presence status (that set automatically after timeout or on system lock) should be set standalone status.
Here is examples:
We don't have personal Custom Status, BUT, and you may already know this, you can add custom status in the admin menu, but it's a global setting.
They'll appear like this:

Anyway, it's a nice idea!

This thread needs to get more up votes. I have been waiting on this exact feature for the longest time. I use custom messages now but we should be able to dynamically display messages based on Status type. Add it to User preferences.
I see status message bubble appears next to your name now. Another long awaited feature. Its helpful to see that info when you are in a group chat. I don't know when this was added but must be recent.
