Same situation in GNOME if indicator-applet is not running. This is a
problem with pidgin's settings—can we somehow get old settings back?
Currently I'm forced to run indicator-applet, so instead of having no
unnecessary icons in the panel I have a huge applet.

Cannot unhide Pidgin buddylist if not using Pidgin's "tray" icon in KDE

Status in Indicator Applet: New
Status in “pidgin” source package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: pidgin

I have Pidgin set to only show an icon in the notification area if it's 
actually notifying me of something.  This should mean that the Pidgin buddy 
list cannot hide (because it requires an always-there "tray icon" to unhide).  
Using Pidgin since the new Canonical Notification System came out, it does 
hide, however.  And if you're using KDE the message indicator applet that 
exists in GNOME has no corollary, so there's no way to unhide the buddy list 
window.

The result is that if you have the icon set to show only for new messages or 
not at all and you use KDE in Jaunty, Pidgin will be running, notifications 
will be shown, messages will be received...and there will be no way to reach 
the buddy list.
