editable status box is counter productive

Description
The status box is now editable and focused by default in the buddy list window. This is not ideal for a few reasons.
- It means that I can't "just type" search to find a contact - I end up changing my status instead
- It means that I can't use the entire status combo box as a click target to drop the menu of options.
I would make the status a readonly menu and have one item in the menu "Custom Status"
That way the default focus can be on the list box and allow searching as a primary action.
