This bug is still present in Ubuntu 13.10 (pidgin-libnotify version 0.14-9ubuntu2)
Pidgin is so much better than Empathy it is unreal that Pidgin isn't the default IM. This libnotify issue is the ONLY issue I know of, so i'd love it is some Ubuntu dev just sorts it. (how hard can it be, when there is a working patch already done?!?!?) In the mean time (as it has been almost half a decade since this bug was reported) how can a 'normal' ubuntu user apply the patch that is known to fix this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin-libnotify in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589890 Title: can't close pidgin conversations when opened with messaging-menu Status in “pidgin-libnotify” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: pidgin-libnotify I don't have tabs enabled in pidgin. After clicking on a notification in the indicator applet, the conversation is opened in a tabbed window. Attempting to close any conversation in this tabbed window just moves the tabs position to the end of the list (that is, it's impossible to close any conversation after clicking on a notification in the indicator applet). This is what I expect to happen: when I click on a notification in the menu, it opens a conversation window. When I then close that window, it goes away. This is what really happens: I click on a notification and it opens up a tabbed conversation window. It is impossible to get rid of this window (and any conversations therein) without quitting pidgin.
