Hi,

I'm using Pidgin for years under various distribution and it always worked well. However since my upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04, using GNOME 3, I can't find a way to quit Pidgin. Simply put I want to start pidgin (not at login) and be able to quit it when I want like any other application.

AFAICS, there is no "quit" option in Pidgin menu. When I click on "quit" in Pidgin top icon, all the windows are closed but Pidgin remains active which is very annoying and (as pointed by some users) potentially dangerous (since anybody in front of the computer will also have access to the contact list for instance).

I have found several messages on the same problem but it's not very clear. My questions are then:
  1) is there a built-in way to quit Pidgin that I have missed?

2) is there any plugin/gnome-shell extension that can provide a "quit" button as a temporary fix?

3) would it be possible to have a quit icon/menu entry that really closes Pidgin?

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu
