PLEASE fix this BUG! This just happened to me the other day! It's also a SECURITY issue. Pidgin continues to run in the background even after it's been closed as described. Other users on my computer were able to access my contacts list after a chat window opened up in an unexpected manner. Such a simple but MAJOR bug gives open source software a bad reputation!!!! How is it possible that it's been almost one and a half years since reported and STILL the importance has yet to be "undecided"!!!!!!

However, it *is* still running in the background, new chats will mysteriously appear, etc. If I close pidgin from its Buddies menu, then it actually exits, but this is awkward and illogical, especially with the unified menu bar, regardless of how cool Apple thinks it is.
