Newbie Questions

[Marc Ferguson]

Hi,

I thought this might be the best place to ask since the subject line matches
my issue.  And by all means - please answer the original questions; I just
want to add in this one.  I'm new to Pidgin as well, I'm running it on SUSE
10.2 and I can't seem to find the plugin that will allow me to minimize the
application to my taskbar (or panel).  So; for now, I just have to minimize
it to my taskbar and hope I don't click "X" by mistake.

I've been using GAIM for years and I'm excited there is a new version.  :D
Keep up the great work - to all the developers - and users making
suggestions.
