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.

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. If they work for you, that's fantastic, but this workaround ignores the primary use case: 1) Turn on computer 2) Log in 3) Click Pidgin icon on Dash (or launch from Application Lens) Any solution must cover the primary use case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879950 Title: pidgin not showing up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/879950/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 879950] Re: pidgin not showing up
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).

[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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879950 Title: pidgin not showing up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/879950/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The fact that this bug is such a big problem, affects all Ubuntu pidgin users, and still isn't fixed, after almost a year, completely baffles me.

The behaviour is very similar, but Pidgin is not listed in the startup Applications and this happens after oppening it at any given point, not necessairly after opening it on startup. Niether have i tried that right button click solution or tested the eprsistence of the bug upon restart, I will as soon as the bug repeats itself and get back to you :D Either way, I think it's the same Bug, just mine is a little more extended (happening also when not in the startup Applications). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879950 Title: pidgin not showing up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/879950/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
