Bug#423588: pidgin doesn't show status text to other AIM clients
Package: pidgin Version: 2.0.0+dfsg.1-3 Severity: normal Pidgin's status window (often where music players such as exaile put text in for currently playing music) doesn't show up on other AIM clients. AFAIK this worked fine with GAIM. Is there something different happening here?

Bug#423588: pidgin doesn't show status text to other AIM clients
I don't understand this bug report. What is Pidgin's status window? If other programs are accessing Gaim's status system through DBus or a plugin, it's not going to magically work with Pidgin without any changes. If a music player needs to be updated to add Pidgin support, then that needs to be taken up with said music player.

Not window, but the little box of text that comes up at the bottom of the Pidgin window with text in it when an application puts a status text to Pidgin.. I am using Exaile SVN with Pidgin support in the status plugin, the text shows up at the bottom of the Pidgin user list window yet nobody on AIM can see it .. it should show up below my name in their list. I have not tested other IM services. This works however on the old GAIM, where it does the same thing but people can see it. I hope this explains better. If not, then please ignore this request.. Because I cannot find another way to explain it, I do not know the exact wording. Thanks.
