I've found a simple solution on this: I've quit using Pidgin. Unity in general has a whole bunch of similar issues with windows not showing up, launcher context menu not showing etc. No one seems to care.
I'm using Gtalk on the webpage now. Works perfectly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879950 Title: pidgin not showing up To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/879950/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
