I believe that this is fixed by a patch that is in my PPA, could you guys please test the version of pidgin-libnotify here:
pidgin-libnotify - 0.14-1ubuntu6~ppa3 http://launchpad.net/~ted-gould/+archive/ppa What this does is that it doesn't keep the buddy window open, unless the buddy window is closed by using the indicator applet. -- Cannot unhide Pidgin buddylist if not using Pidgin's "tray" icon in KDE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/333745 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Indicator Applet Developers, which is the registrant for Indicator Applet. Status in Indicator Applet: New Status in “pidgin” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: pidgin I have Pidgin set to only show an icon in the notification area if it's actually notifying me of something. This should mean that the Pidgin buddy list cannot hide (because it requires an always-there "tray icon" to unhide). Using Pidgin since the new Canonical Notification System came out, it does hide, however. And if you're using KDE the message indicator applet that exists in GNOME has no corollary, so there's no way to unhide the buddy list window. The result is that if you have the icon set to show only for new messages or not at all and you use KDE in Jaunty, Pidgin will be running, notifications will be shown, messages will be received...and there will be no way to reach the buddy list. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
