You’re absolutely right about solution and workaround. Account this for my weak English.
Moreover, I must add about “system tray icon” that no icons will be displayed in 12.04 menu, but you won’t need to quit it. I myself did’t set it as startup, just since I’ve enabled tray icon which changed nothing in appearance, I don’t need to quit anymore; however sometimes I need to relaunch (without quitting). This is great for me, because I lost some offline messages when quitting to relaunch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879950 Title: pidgin not showing up Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Pidgin is just not visible. It shows on the message menu, it whos on Unity and it even shows on the global Menu, it's just... not on screen. This problem is happening often but i don't know as a result of what, since it works upon launching, but may not upon relaunching. After Pidgin put together the information for thisre port, the window shoed up again but disappeared from Unity, although currently working.
