Please try this (Tested in Ubuntu 12.10) sudo gedit '/usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop' Change the line: > Exec=pidgin to: > Exec=pidgin -f If you've created any shortcuts elsewhere, you will want to make this same change on those files. They are usually ".desktop" file extensions. Or, alternately, you can create a file in /usr/sbin called "pidgin". Use this method with extreme care: sudo gedit /usr/sbin/pidgin Paste this: #!/bin/sh > echo "Starting pidgin -f..." > /usr/bin/pidgin -f $@ & > exit 0 Make the file executable: > sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/pidgin Now all calls to "pidgin" *should* use your newly modified version. Test this by launching it from the command line, and you should receive a message "Starting pidgin -f". Modify to your needs. -Tres >
