I think you mean it "occasionally" or "sometimes" displays the message. "Seldom" has more the sense of "almost never". (No charge for English lessons.... )
What are you doing when this message comes up? eg does it happen during boot up?, opening a program?, etc.
Oh sorry. I mean the message often comes up. I dont know actually. I think since i've used the Up2date to install packages, the message starts to appear. Whats the problem?
Sounds like the Gaim default away message that comes up when you're idle for too long. Is gaim running? (the little "gaim man" icon is in the system tray)?
Distribution: Ubuntu, Debian, Various using VMWare

Rep:
I get this message when Kopete is running. Its just a chat program like MSN, and when your screensaver has been on it sets your status to away. "Sorry ive run out for a bit" is just your "Away from Computer" message. You can change it to whatever you want.
