I'm fine with removing the stick. It was just a hope to fight some
focus stealing prevention, but it seems to cause more problems than it
fixes.

I don't know why KDE needs such a workaround but it does.
Limitations in the system tray protocol and pidgin using legacy code
(eggtrayicon) to draw the tray icon seems to cause this situation.
KDE4 uses a fixed tray icon size of 22x22, so that workaround doesn't have any
negative effects.

Thank you for your work. Why do you change the scrollbar patch values?
Why does KDE need a such hack, what about users who customize they bar
and need other icons values? Not sure about the other change either...

Hi Ted. I already have focus-stealing-prevention disabled in compiz,
and yet Pidgin is still malfunctioning. So I don't consider this a bug

every workspace to be expected behavior. I agree that focus-stealing-

I just looked at 11_buddy_list_really_show.patch--yikes. It does things
that are very heavy-handed. The application really should not do all
this stuff just to show the buddy list:

Hi,
I am also affected by this bug and I have found a simple workaround that
“fixes“ the bug until you close the buddy list:
on any workspace having at least one window open (excluding the buddy list),
try to swap pidgin's taskbar icon with another one by drag-and-drop.
Then the bugging taskbar
Thanks, Jamie. The PPA works perfectly.

Well. Just to add confusion to the whole mess, now Pidgin (which is

Updating to Pidgin 2.5.6 resolved the bug.
