Automatic away status when locking PC

It used to automatically change my status to away when I locked my PC.  Now it's not doing that and it has to wait for the inactivity time. I don't want it to do that because sometimes I'm at my PC having a discussion with someone so don't want it to go to away status.  I want it to turn to away like it did before.  How do I change that back?

I wonder if that feature was removed.  The latest release notes for 6.5.0 have this entry: "Ability to automatically change presence status to Away based on screen lock or screen saver".  However, I haven't been able to find where you can set this value.  Perhaps it is not yet available in my organization.
