I'm sorry, I've been very busy with work and I haven't had time to properly participate in the discussion.
IMHO, I think there is an integration problem with Pidgin into Lucid release, because in this release Ubuntu prioritizes the use of the indicator applet instead of the notification area. If the package pidgin-libnotify isn't installed that intregration will fail because indicator-me will still show an entry for Pidgin although it's totally useless, and this behavior would indeed confuse an average user. I firmly believe that it's a bug. To make matters worse, the description of pidgin-libnotify isn't clear too because it doesn't mention about its relation with indicator-me. I've thought in the following options: - Make pidgin-libnotify to be recommend again by pidgin. - Change the mechanism that indicator-me uses to detect Pidgin, so it doesn't depend on pidgin-libnotify. - Remove the entry in indicator-me in case of pidgin-libnotify isn't installed, and/or: - Change the description and/or name of pidgin-libnotify to something that describes that it's required by indicator-me in order to detect Pidgin.
