[JDEV] Probelms with presence

[David Waite]

You are most likely hitting the (not completely intuitive) presence and 
roster notification logic. To summarize:
- You will not receive other user's available presence until you change 
your presence to available
- You will not receive subscription requests until you change your 
presence to available and request your roster.

Maybe I am doing something wrong or maybe there is a bug... I am testing this on a windows server and I have found several things not to work (e.g. offline messages not being sent whena  user logs in).
