Binary package hint: pidgin
Ubuntu Jaunty, latest updates as of the report.
Pidgin's new icon using the indicator-applet (white envelope) seems to
disappear at times randomly. You can be using the machine normally, then look
up to find that it's disappeared. Pidgin is still running in the background, as
ps ax will show and it will not allow you to run another instance (just gives
the wait cursor and then goes back to normal, does not raise buddy list or
replace icon) This requires a kill command to be used on the process, then
restarting pidgin to gain access to it again. I don't know for sure if this is
an indicator-applet issue or not, as I haven't seen any crashes pop up about
either.
I haven't seen a particular behavior yet that causes it, but I will monitor the
issue.
The issue is that Pidgin's default is currently to not show it's own
icon, which causes issues if the indicator-applet's icon disappears.
Enabling Pidgin's internal icon is a work around for now, as you can use
it to access the buddy list when the other icon disappears.
** Affects: indicator-applet (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Confirmed

New Notification Icon disappears at random, no way to access pidgin.
