[Bug 1001405] Re: "on startup"-ed pidgin's window does not restore
I had the same / a similar issue today. The Pidgin window was not showing up, after I killed the Pidgin process, since it was hanging when shutting down normally. The shutdown was not commencing at this point: (10:48:26) proxy: Connection in progress dns[13098]: nobody needs me... =( (10:48:55) prefs: /pidgin/blist/list_visible changed, scheduling save. (10:49:01) util: Writing file prefs.xml to directory /home/*/.purple (10:49:01) util: Writing file /home/*/.purple/prefs.xml The reason why I tried to restart Pidgin was my Office Communicator (SIPE) plugin (running at current latest version 1.23.0), which was not able to connect to our Lync server (which itself has probably the issue at the moment). Then I tried to restart Pidgin and it was not showing up anymore. The reason is the /pidgin/blist/list_visible property which have been changed to 0 in the previous shutdown. When I switched it back to 1 in the /home/*/.purple/prefs.xml like: [...] [...] The Pidgin window is showing up again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001405 Title: "on startup"-ed pidgin's window does not restore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1001405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm the fix in #6 works for me.

[Bug 1001405] Re: "on startup"-ed pidgin's window does not restore
I believe it has something to do with Ubuntu itself. Using Ubuntu 12.04 I had the same issue when Pidgin was locked in the launcher. The workaround I found was to open Pidgin from the Message menu on top and lock it again to the Launcher. Obviously this won't solve the issue related here but might help figuring what command Ubuntu uses to launch Pidgin when you open it via the Message Menu. Sorry, my English is not that great but I belive you understood what I said. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001405 Title: "on startup"-ed pidgin's window does not restore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1001405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1001405] Re: "on startup"-ed pidgin's window does not restore
I'm experiencing the same issue with Ubuntu 12.04 Pidgin 2.10.3 libpurple 2.10.3. No NVIDIA drivers installed. When I start Ubuntu, the Pidgin window used to show up Maximized. Now the window doesnt show up but the pidgin icon appears in the taskbar (Im using Avant Window Navigator as taskbar) as it has been excuted. The way I fix it is, I do right click on the Pidgin icon at the taskbar , then click on "Close". Then I execute Pidgin from the main menu and again it just show up in the taskbar, so I Right click on it and then choose "Unminimize". Nothing happens but I can Right click on it again and choose "Maximize" and that is how the Pidgin window manage to show up finally. Its very annoying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001405 Title: "on startup"-ed pidgin's window does not restore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1001405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
