Public bug reported:
When using Pidgin with Indicator Applet while the Pidgin system tray
icon is hidden (that's the point of Indicator Applet, right?),
persistent conversations create some very bad behavior.
First, Pidgin suddenly ignores the fact that I've asked it not to use
tabbed conversation windows and presents them to me in that manner
anyway. This isn't that big of a deal IMO.
Second, two of the tabs that are presented to me are persistent IRC
chats. When I try to close one of those tabs, it is instantly recreated
as a new tab. If I try to close the window, this begins happening
recursively (destroying and recreating the persistent chat tabs) and
eventually Pidgin crashes.
The expected behavior under these circumstances would be how Pidgin
behaves when not using Indicator Applet when closing a persistent
conversation window. In that case, the conversation is simply hidden and
continues to be logged and monitored for usage of one's nickname in the
background.
