Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: pidgin-libnotify
By default we now disable the pidgin icon in the notification area and
rely on the message indicator applet for access to the buddy list. This
works fine once you access the buddy list from the indicator applet, but
if you close the buddy list window before accessing pidgin from the
indicator applet pidgin exits.
This is not only confusing, but not very intuitive. In our default
configuration (with the indicator applet), pidgin should not exit unless
you chose Buddies->Quit in the buddy list window. Clicking the "X"
should just hide the window.
However, there are other configurations users might have that would
leave them without a way to access the buddy list at all. If for
example a user of xubuntu closes the buddy list, it gets hidden and he
has know way to raise that buddy list again. Launching pidgin a second
time doesn't help, it just detects pidgin is running and exits.
To address the scenario where there is no indicator, we should be able
to check if the indicator is present (bug 352616) and inhibit exit if it
is. If not, closing the buddy list will actually exit.
