Not that you're attitude makes me want to help you, but if you want Pidgin (which isn't part of GNOME btw) to behave the way you think it should. Simply go to: Tools -> Preferences -> System Tray Icon and change it to "Always." No need to install or un-install any thing.
Rhythmbox minimizes to tray correctly for me with the plugin enabled. You can question the usefulness or readiness of the new applet, but the argument that it "breaks standard GNOME behavior" is just simply un- true. Applications which permanently sit in the notification area not following standard GNOME behavior. >From the GNOME Human Interface Guidline [1]: "The utility of the notification area decreases rapidly when more than about four icons are always present. For this reason, icons that appear only temporarily in response to events are preferable."

Status in Indicator Applet: New Status in “indicator-applet” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: If I remove indicator-applet from the panel or uninstall it entirely, programs that are supposed to have an icon in the system tray simply close. I find the behavior of the applet clunky and incorrect, and think that really there should be a setting somewhere that lets you disable it. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
