Package: pidgin Version: 2.5.4-2 Severity: minor Hello,
thanks for maintaining pidgin. Recently, the icon that notifies in the system tray that there are unread messages has changed. Originally it was some neutral geometric shape, and now it's a smiley face. It has happened to me several times already to click on the smiley face and to find a message that was not fun at all. Having messages in important but annoying and demanding conversations highlighted using smileys can prove to be extremely irritating. I'm sure the original authors did not intend to have fun of people who are not having fun conversations, but that can end up being the result of the icon change: I would strongly encourage going back to something neutral.
