Package: pidgin-blinklight
Version: 0.10-2
Severity: wishlist

I use and recommend pidgin-blinklight; it really helps me notice
messages that I might otherwise miss, particularly in environments
where I can't use pidgin's sound cues.  However, a friend of mine
couldn't use it, because his ThinkPad didn't happen to have the
ThinkLight.  It occurred to me while talking to him that
pidgin-blinklight could support blinking keyboard LEDs instead, which
most systems have.  This should have a similar effect of drawing
attention, particularly on laptops, where the keyboard LEDs often lie
close to the display.

Similarly, pidgin-thinklight could also support other system-specific
LEDs using the Linux LED subsystem, which makes them available via
/sys/devices/platform/$DRIVER/leds/$LED .  For instance, the acer-wmi
driver provides access to a mail LED.
