yes, it's the buddy list and I do have it minimized to the system tray. it will randomly reappear and start flashing in the task bar like this: http://kellybrownsberger.com/pidgin_likes_to_flash.jpg
in that screenshot, my friend happened to ping me a few seconds before Pidgin started flashing, but I don't believe they're related. The buddy list likes to just appear from the system tray and start flashing. It doesn't maximize itself or come into view - just appears in the taskbar and starts flashing. Is this a feature I don't understand? It seems to be trying to notify me of something, but I don't know what :) On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 9:59 AM, David Balazic < [email protected]> wrote: > Aha.
