Something weird is going on. Now it's back to the sane behaviour. I will describe what I've done on this system in hopes that someone will figure it out.
I had installed UbuntuStudio 9.04 and Pidgin. Got annoying behaviour described in this bug. However UbuntuStudio's built-in realtime kernel is crashy, so I installed updates (this seems the most likely thing that fixed it) and PAE kernel and rebooted my system. Now Pidgin acts like everyone in this bug wants it to act. No more application "button" on the taskbar on desktops where it doesn't exist. It seems the most likely explanation is the most recent version of Pidgin in the 9.04 UbuntuStudio distro was built without this bug's behaviour. I'm glad it's fixed, but I'm frustrated that I don't know how I fixed it. -- Buddy List taskbar icon shows on all virtual desktops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346840 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
