oy it looks like I jumped the gun I just discovered in pidgin tools -> plugins
-> libnotify popups
The configuration for this plugin allows setting what events get notification
bubbles. I will mark this invalid. Sorry for the trouble.

Bug description:
I like the new notifications. Especially how you are not expected to interact
with them and they get out of the way when your cursor goes over them.
I do not like how many notifications I get from Pidgin. I have alot of buddies
in my various IM accounts. Somebody is invariably signing in at most times.
What I have found is that this has decreased the usefulness of all notification
bubbles because I no longer pay attention to them. The vast majority of my
notification bubbles are for buddies signing in. I rarely notice when somebody
talks to me or my power is unplugged.
This is the correct behavior according to the wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD but I think the rational should be rethought.
Ive filed a brainstorm idea as well. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18506/
