This makes pidgin practically unusable for me under Ubuntu 13.04. Before I could disable the libnotify plugin and use the systray icon, but now this is also not possible anymore.
You have an important problem reported by multiple persons and a patch since 3 years! Anybody here? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin-libnotify in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589890 Title: can't close pidgin conversations when opened with messaging-menu Status in “pidgin-libnotify” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: pidgin-libnotify I don't have tabs enabled in pidgin. After clicking on a notification in the indicator applet, the conversation is opened in a tabbed window. Attempting to close any conversation in this tabbed window just moves the tabs position to the end of the list (that is, it's impossible to close any conversation after clicking on a notification in the indicator applet). This is what I expect to happen: when I click on a notification in the menu, it opens a conversation window. When I then close that window, it goes away. This is what really happens: I click on a notification and it opens up a tabbed conversation window. It is impossible to get rid of this window (and any conversations therein) without quitting pidgin.
