Brian, I'm not sure if you've followed me.
The bug occurs when empathy is *not* set to use the indicator applet (i.e. "Show incoming messages in the messaging menu" is unchecked), and therefore has its own icon in the status area. Under metacity, clicking that empathy icon toggles whether the contact list appears. Under xmonad, it doesn't, and the contact list is also impossible to close manually. The reason I think this is a bug in empathy rather than xmonad is that right clicking the icon and clicking the "Show Contact List" checkbox has no effect either. I'm not interested in what the entry in the indicator applet menu does. I want single-click access to the contact list, which is why I chose the setting that retains the separate empathy icon (even though the visual representation of status is then annoyingly duplicated by the session applet). -- contact list oddities with xmonad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393138 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
