When I visit Drupal sites, "There are currently 1 user and 0 guests online." kind of statements are very common. This kind of statement when I am a live guest there, talks poorly of a Drupal site. Where is the bug?

It's probably not a bug-- there's probably a certain amount of time that needs to pass before you show up in that list.

Thanks for the clarification.
But, I still have my own doubt.

If it needs some time, unless it's AJAX, it needs a page refresh.

Yep-- unless someone ajaxifies it, this is true. Still not a bug however.

There are also settings in the block for the admin to set..."A user is considered online for this long after they have last viewed a page."
