This seriously needs to be fixed ASAP. It is ridiculous the hoops that
users of this software have to go through in order for it to function
basically. If a user logs in and is sent a message, clicking on the
tray icon only flips the message and there is no way to even access the
Tools
Almost 2 years now, and no fix.
This problem still exists in Ubuntu 12.04.

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
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
I don't get this any more with 12.10 and the latest Pidgin in the
repository.
The workaround mentioned in #20 is well known but means you have a
redundant entry in the tray. Workaround, but not a fix.
Anyway, can't say I've noticed this in 12.10.

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 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. No, I will not change to empathy because it's simply daunting from a
functional perspective. If that was the intended underlying motivation
to not fix
Whenever I shut down, I make sure window of Pidgin is open; In the next
startup, Pidgin won’t have any problem!

Strange, because for me it only *started* after I upgraded from 11.10 to

so perhaps an upgrade fixed it.

I still have this bug on Ubuntu 12.04 beta 2.
It does not happen every time, though.
It's a big issue as it makes Pidgin unusable with this Ubuntu version...

I'm not actually sure. 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.
