An instant messager.
- Formerly funpidgin
-
See Pidgin (software) (Formerly Gaim)
- Forked from Pidgin when they went insane and screwed over their users.
-
NOTE - If I ever get into IRC again, I think I could set afk with xautolock.

I bumped into Carrier when I learned that it was a fork from Pidgin. They cited a feature-change that was negative and had no option to revert to original expected functionality. See ticket 4986 on Pidgin's bug tracker. Go ahead and read it, I dare you. At any rate, I truly admire Carrier's reasoning for forking.
However..
In order to detect my AFK status, it requires something called "the xscreensaver development headers". Not even XScreenSaver or Google know what that is.
\apt-get install gettext libgtk+2.0_0-devel # I could force it to build with this: ./configure --disable-screensaver
But why bother.
