This bug was fixed in the package pidgin-libnotify - 0.14-1ubuntu8

---------------
pidgin-libnotify (0.14-1ubuntu8) jaunty; urgency=low

  * /debian/patches/indicate.patch:
    * Putting the notifications for a particular conversation
      into a list and closing the entire list when the
      conversation is focused to clear out possible queued
      notifications (LP: #351670)
    * Making it so that indicators and notifications from chats
      also wait from indicating for notifing when the account
      has just connected.
    * Do not make headers have protected ampersands and other HTML-isms
      in the strings.  Patch by Cody Russell.  (LP: #356147)
    * Use the libindicate interests interface to determine when there
      is someone looking at pidgin with the ability to control visibility
      of the application.  Control it if so.  (LP: #353112)
    * Change it so that the buddy information is stored in the callback
      instead of user data.  Merging in show_button.patch.
  * /debian/control: libindicate 0.1.5
  * /debian/patches/show_button.patch: Moved into indicate.patch

Bug description:
Binary package hint: pidgin-libnotify

By default we now disable the pidgin icon in the notification area and rely on 
the message indicator applet for access to the buddy list.  This works fine 
once you access the buddy list from the indicator applet, but if you close the 
buddy list window before accessing pidgin from the indicator applet pidgin 
exits.

This is not only confusing, but not very intuitive.  In our default 
configuration (with the indicator applet), pidgin should not exit unless you 
chose Buddies->Quit in the buddy list window.  Clicking the "X" should just 
hide the window.  

However, there are other configurations users might have that would leave them 
without a way to access the buddy list at all.  If for example a user of 
xubuntu closes the buddy list, it gets hidden and he has know way to raise that 
buddy list again.  Launching pidgin a second time doesn't help, it just detects 
pidgin is running and exits.  

To address the scenario where there is no indicator, we should be able to check 
if the indicator is present (bug 352616) and inhibit exit if it is.   If not, 
closing the buddy list will actually exit.
