Copying the comments I wronly wrote on another bug: Upstream does not suffer of this regression. It is introduced in introduced by Ubuntu in debian/patches/30_raise_not_toggle.patch
It seems this bug was introduced on purpose (see #392153), which is a shame. In order to get the same behavior of empathy(upstream), you can do the following: $ sudo apt-get build-dep empathy $ apt-get source empathy $ cd empathy $ rm debian/patches/30_raise_not_toggle.patch $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b $ cd .. $ sudo dpkg -i empathy_2.28.0.*.deb A change on this behaviour will not be accepted on the stable upstream. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 410278 [Feature request]Allow empathy conversation window to be minimized to notification area or messaging menu -- [karmic] Empathy don't close with click on notification area icon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451568 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
