still an issue in ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bit as manuel mentioned, it works fine when libnotify plugin is disabled.
as an evangelist of open source software, i find ongoing issues like this really discouraging. how can i possibly argue that open source operating systems are better when i can find record of this issue dating back to 2008 in a simple google search. it probably was reported even before that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879950 Title: pidgin not showing up Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pidgin package in Unity Linux: New Bug description: Pidgin is just not visible. It shows on the message menu, it whos on Unity and it even shows on the global Menu, it's just... not on screen. This problem is happening often but i don't know as a result of what, since it works upon launching, but may not upon relaunching. After Pidgin put together the information for thisre port, the window shoed up again but disappeared from Unity, although currently working.
