Package: pidgin Version: 2.10.6-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I use KDE and it has a gui for setting up default applications. One of those categories is "instant messenger". It is impossible to set pidgin as the default instant messenger in KDe - it doesn't appear in the combobox. I reported this bug to KDE maintainer but he said that it's pidgin's bug and that it should provide necessary .desktop files:
>Then there is no bug in the KDE side. If you want pidgin available there then >you need to tell pidgin upstream to provide the necessary .desktop files so >KDE can find it.
