Okay... so IMHO, "Delete Custom Message..." would be better than  
"Clear"-- same as it says in the pop-up.  A menu item label should  
usually match up to the window it opens.

That said, it looks like the UI perhaps isn't as efficient as it could  
be.  In the first screenshot, you have three "Custom Message" menu  
entries, and one "Clear" (or "Delete Custom Message") menu entry.  Why  
so many?  If you had one dialog that let you manage custom status  
messages, could you potentially reduce those four menu items down to  
one?

Cheeri,
Calum.
