[Bug 346840] [NEW] Buddy List taskbar icon shows on all virtual desktops

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

On Ubuntu Jaunty final release with Pidgin version 2.5.5-1ubuntu8 the
Buddy List taskbar icon (below in the bottom GNOME panel), shows on all
virtual desktops. While the window is only actually visible on a single
virtual desktop.

This is weird and broken behaviour. The taskbar button for the Buddy
List should only show on the virtual desktop where the actual window is
present. And NOT on other virtual desktops.

I'm suspecting this broken behaviour was explicitly patched in.

Although I'm not entirely sure, the following patch might be the culprit:
  11_buddy_list_really_show.patch

Please revert Pidgin to normal behaviour... The windows manager should
manage the windows... not the application itself!
