Title:
It happens with me too, and pidgin doesn't appear on desktop (it
disappears!), it is impossible to access it. I can access the
application only on the chat/email/and etc area (on the mail icon, on

Problem was solved by restarting the computer. This seems to be a weird

Perhaps we should investigate why pidgin's launcher was invisible in
Unity Launcher until the computer was restarted.
Not everyone restarts their computer.
