Hello Sergio, I am not a Pidgin developer, but in my experience, the adaptations to Pidgin must be handled by the Ubuntu package maintainers. If the package maintainers believe it is a core bug in Pidgin they will relay the issue upstream to pidgin's core bug list. The package maintainer is listed here<http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/pidgin>( http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/pidgin) as "Ubuntu Developers".
The bugs you are referring to only seem to affect the Ubuntu version of Pidgin, which would suggest that the bugs were introduced through an outdated or poor *implementation* of Pidgin with in Ubuntu's "Unity". If this is the case, the Ubuntu developers would have to fix this, as such an implementation would not be valid to all other operating systems. My advice to you, check with the Ubuntu Developers ( [email protected]) for their take on this. If they think it is a bug in Pidgin, they'll say so and a bug report can be filed here: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports. I may by wrong on this, but hopefully this will help you out.
