still an issue in ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bit as manuel mentioned, it works fine when libnotify plugin is disabled. as an evangelist of open source software, i find ongoing issues like this really discouraging. how can i possibly argue that open source operating systems are better when i can find record of this issue dating back to 2008 in a simple google search. it probably was reported even before that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879950 Title: pidgin not showing up Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pidgin package in Unity Linux: New Bug description: Pidgin is just not visible.

I have the same problem (pidgin 2.10.3 on mint 13 with unity and backport). I can also make pidgin show up when I remove .purple/prefs.xml. But then, the window frame (title bar with minimize, maximize and close icons, drag corners) behaves as if it weren't there. E.g. I can't drag the pidgin window because when I click the frame, the click goes through to the window below it, or to the desktop if there is no such window.

Pidgin has been working for me (with the env variable workaround for MS servers), but now suddenly it fails to display a window. Debug (-d) and strace seem to indicate the program is otherwise working. When I Ctrl-C, the window appears to flicker on screen before terminating. While it is running, the window also shows up in xlsclients. I'm not using Unity (just a simple XMonad setup), so if this is indeed the same problem, it's proabably not Unity-related.

I still run into this issue almost every time I start 12.04. My workaround is to quit and relaunch Pidgin. With all due respect, Ali Najafi, your proposal is not a solution, it's a workaround. Launching Pidgin on startup or showing a system tray icon are not considered desirable behaviors by many users.

You’re absolutely right about solution and workaround. Account this for my weak English. Moreover, I must add about “system tray icon” that no icons will be displayed in 12.04 menu, but you won’t need to quit it. I myself did’t set it as startup, just since I’ve enabled tray icon which changed nothing in appearance, I don’t need to quit anymore; however sometimes I need to relaunch (without quitting).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 879950] Re: pidgin not showing up
Hi guys, Do you still have the problem with Pidgin? I think I’ve found the solution; it’s simple: Go to Pidgin Preferences - Interface - System Tray Icon, and choose ALWAYS for “Show system tray icon”. Now if you can set Pidgin as a startup application, there will be no problem with opening the buddy list. In this situation, I recommend you to UNCHECK “Use status from last exit at startup” in Preferences - Status/Idle and preferably set it to offline. (If you don’t set Pidgin as a startup application, you should click on the icon once to start the application – which shows a triangle beside the icon in the messaging menu – and click again to open the window.) I tried more than 5 times on 12.04 and the window is shown every time without any problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879950 Title: pidgin not showing up Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Pidgin is just not visible.
