Pidgin hasn't been ported to the new indicator-messages API yet, this is bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution- indicator/+bug/1040259
The system tray icon should work as a workaround, however in Unity, Pidgin must be whitelisted before it will appear. Something like: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'Update-notifier', 'Pidgin']" should work, though you may want to see what your current value is before appending Pidgin to the end, so that you don't lose any other status icons. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064493 Title: Indicator-applet Disappears After Closing a Conversation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/1064493/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
