HI Pedro thanks for taking the time to take a look into this bug again. Hopefully all will agree with me that this bug has been solved by empathys integration into the indicator applet in Lucid. But even for those using piding the issue can't be there anymore because indicator applet does use a b

Hi dudes, In my opinion we should only change pidgins default behaviour, the FUSA is very nice idea and someone only have to enable the pidgin option that the pidgin-own-icon hides in the status bar until a new message comes in (that's also what I'm using it now) Concerning these attitudes "Want

I'm against the status icon duplicity (I'm the bug 291846 initial reporter), but IMHO the solution is not to change the default Pidgin behavior nor to lose its "docking" feature in the notification area. I propose the following solution: to remove at all the status icon from FUSA. Two use cases:

All of those applications should be using applets, not notification icons, though. And two bugs have been filed complaining about the fact that the Pidgin icon matches the FUSA applet making there be 2 "available" 2 "busy" etc. icons. They are Bug 273220 and Bug 291846. -- Pidgin icon matches t

+1 Lucky LIX. Many, many applications drop an icon persistently in the notification area: NetworkManager, aMSN, Pidgin, Bazaar GTK, Dropbox, aMule, Transmission... IMHO, trying to change the default behavior of other applications (losing functionality, also) because of feature duplicity is a step

I think minimizing to the notification area is much better for programs you run all the time (fe IM, e-mail, music) because it makes them easily accessible from any desktop (if you use more than one) and the program is completely out of your way, which is much nicer than having it minimized on o

Rhythmbox does not keep an icon in the notification area unless you enable that plugin. To do so is a violation of the GNOME HIG. That's also why hitting the X on Rhythmbox closes it, rather than sending "to the tray" which isn't *really* a tray. It's a notification area. It's *just* for notific

This isn't considered a bug in FUSA. It is true that Pidgin shouldn't be using the notification area for things other than transient notifications. ** Changed in: fast-user-switch-applet (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- Pidgin icon matches the user-switcher-applet too much https:

I think the point of the FUSA's move in that direction is to eventually replace the Pidgin applet's functions (it's supposed to be able to change status, but there's a bug open on that functionality). At the moment, though, I'd agree that there's a usability problem presented by the duplication of
