** Package changed: pidgin (Ubuntu) => indicator-applet (Ubuntu) -- New Notification Icon disappears at random, no way to access pidgin. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Indicator Applet Developers, which is subscribed to indicator-applet in ubuntu.
Status in “indicator-applet” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: pidgin Ubuntu Jaunty, latest updates as of the report. Pidgin's new icon using the indicator-applet (white envelope) seems to disappear at times randomly. You can be using the machine normally, then look up to find that it's disappeared. Pidgin is still running in the background, as ps ax will show and it will not allow you to run another instance (just gives the wait cursor and then goes back to normal, does not raise buddy list or replace icon) This requires a kill command to be used on the process, then restarting pidgin to gain access to it again. I don't know for sure if this is an indicator-applet issue or not, as I haven't seen any crashes pop up about either. I haven't seen a particular behavior yet that causes it, but I will monitor the issue. The issue is that Pidgin's default is currently to not show it's own icon, which causes issues if the indicator-applet's icon disappears. Enabling Pidgin's internal icon is a work around for now, as you can use it to access the buddy list when the other icon disappears. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
