FWIW, since the Ubuntu patch was released I've just modified my behaviour to click on the pulsing entry in the task bar instead of the tray icon. I agree with the arguments on the Pidgin bug about not fighting the DE, and it not really being an issue with Pidgin per se.
I guess what we want is for Metacity to provide for applications to say "Yes, I really do want to warp workspace/move my window here", which Pidgin could then implement/pref as necessary. For my particular use case - switching when someone messages me - I'm pacified by the patch as is to not consider this a major usability issue. That's not to say that I don't see the value in modifying Metacity. Often I want to click on a tray icon to (say) switch to Rhythmbox which is up in another workspace, but this doesn't work, as an irritating side-effect of this patch. The current behaviour is OK, but IMHO it should only last for as long as absolutely necessary until a better solution can be found. -- 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
