iChat - Going away when screensaver goes on

[oriolesprospect]

I have a hot corner set up on my computer so when I place my mouse in the top left corner, my computer goes to its screensaver. However, when I do this, my ichat status automatically goes to "Away". How can I make it so I stay "Available" so it looks like I'm still online?

Try iChat -> Preferences: "Set my status to Away after the computer is inactive." I think the screensaver mode makes iChat consider the computer to be inactive immediately.
