Similar here... Now, in hardy, clicking on the icon doesn't move pidgin to the current desktop nor does it switch to the desktop pidgin is on (as the previous poster noted). Same for buddy list or flashing icon to show chat window.
So, to find a new message in an existing chat window, I now have to manually switch to the desktop the chat window is on; same for the buddy list. Quite annoying and frustrating :( Seems to be a side effect of an Ubuntu added patch to metacity: 011_gnome_482354_attachment_104591.patch ... see: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482354#c46 Also, this got filtered to Pidgin's own tickets, in a bit of a heated argument: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5521 IMHO, the patch was a mistake, but not everyone will agree :) To recompile metacity w/o the patch: $ sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts fakeroot $ sudo apt-get build-dep metacity $ apt-get source metacity $ cd metacity-2.*/debian/patches $ rm 011_gnome_482354_attachment_104591.patch $ cd ../.. $ debchange --nmu "remove 011_gnome_482354_attachment_104591.patch" $ dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -rfakeroot $ cd .. $ sudo dpkg -i metacity*.deb Restart GNOME, and volla, pidgin window focusing and workspace switching works again. ** Also affects: gaim via http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5521 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: pidgin via http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5521 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: metacity via http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482354 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Clicking notification panel icon doesn't switch desktops https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207744 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
