Just to chime in, I find this an annoying regression also. I noticed using Pidgin in Hardy that I wasn't getting any notifications of new message alerts in my bottom panel and was in fact being quite the snob without realizing it.
I've found I need to go into plugins and enable the message notification plugin to get this behaviour back. The behaviour, to clarify, is to have the window for my chat blink when it gets a new message if its not the active window/minimised. I know I had to configure this manually back in the day with older releases and GAIM but I'm sure this was enabled by default in Gutsy at least. It's a bit odd having a chat client that doesn't let you know you have a new message by default. Granted I think the systray icon blinks but that's doesn't always catch your eye immediately. -- pidgin no longer flashes/notifies on taskbar upon receipt of message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212546 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
