Package: pidgin Version: 2.0.0+dfsg.1-4 Severity: normal
After an upgrade from Gaim to Pidgin 2.0.0, the new mail notification causes Pidgin's buddy list window to grow, with the right-hand edge of the window moving rightward. To reproduce, I simply: Enable new mail notification (for msn or yahoo). Quit Pidgin. Send my msn/yahoo account mail. Start pidgin, and log into either account. The buddy list starts getting wider, and doesn't stop until the email is read via my browser. I can't resize the window to a smaller size after this growth has occurred. When I maximize this new size of buddy list window, it ends up far wider than my screen (where usually a maximized window is the size of the whole screen). This problem doesn't occur when I move my .purple directory out of the way and start from scratch, meaning it's something I inherited from my old gaim installation that pidgin doesn't play well with. I use XFCE, but I tried reproducing this in TWM just to see if it still happens there, and it does. In my $HOME/.purple/prefs.xml, I see the new width reflected in one area of the preferences (with a 1680px wide screen): <pref name='blist'> <pref name='show_buddy_icons' type='bool' value='1'/> <pref name='show_empty_groups' type='bool' value='0'/> <pref name='show_idle_time' type='bool' value='1'/> <pref name='show_offline_buddies' type='bool' value='0'/> <pref name='list_visible' type='bool' value='1'/> <pref name='list_maximized' type='bool' value='0'/> <pref name='sort_type' type='string' value='status'/> <pref name='x' type='int' value='0'/> <pref name='y' type='int' value='500'/> <pref name='width' type='int' value='3841'/> <<---------------- here <pref name='height' type='int' value='434'/> <pref name='tooltip_delay' type='int' value='500'/> </pref> I'm not sure what other information may be useful to this problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pidgin depends on: ii libavahi-compat-howl0 0.6.19-2 Avahi Howl compatibility library ii libbonobo2-0 2.18.0-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.5-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.6-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.0.2-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.73-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 1.10.1-2 Client library for evolution addre ii libedata-book1.2-2 1.10.1-2 Backend library for evolution addr ii libedataserver1.2-9 1.10.1-2 Utility library for evolution data ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libgconf2-4 2.18.0.1-3 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.18.0-4 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.12-5 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.12-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtkspell0 2.0.10-3+b1 a spell-checking addon for GTK's T ii libice6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncursesw5 5.6-3 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libnspr4-0d 4.6.6-3 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-0d 3.11.5-3 Network Security Service libraries ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-7 Shared Perl library ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsasl2-2 2.1.22.dfsg1-10 Authentication abstraction library ii libsasl2-modules 2.1.22.dfsg1-10 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.8-2 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.28.dfsg-1 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.1-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.2-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.2-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii pidgin-data 2.0.0+dfsg.1-4 multi-protocol instant messaging c Versions of packages pidgin recommends: ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.12-2 GStreamer plugins from the "base" ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.5-5 GStreamer plugins from the "good" pn python-dbus <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
