Open Buddy list via single clicking the tray icon?

[Neillithan]

Okay.  The only thing I gathered here is that Pidgin is an imperfect
messenger.  Neglecting such obvious problems like tray icon / buddy list
opening behavior is such laziness.  Look, I appreciate the effort of
volunteers to make Pidgin better, but getting all offended when somebody
critiques your hard work is counter productive.  If Pidgin's community is
going to be so hasty to reply with a lack of accuracy and negativity, with
accusations of "whining" at the first sight of irratibility, (which in my
case is WELL deserved) then that continues to show how open source geeks
like yourself have such unattractive elitist attitudes.  I'm sick and tired
of getting pounded by people who claim they are doing a good deed, but can't
stand a bit of feedback, especially when it has to be repeated and reworded
by an innocent who's just trying to get some answers.

A forum is a place to discuss and get answers, not get bashed and accused of
"whining" or anything of the sort.  It's not my job to search every obscure
bug tracker, forum, search engine for the perfect wording of the question I
need to ask.  If you don't like it, then "you" need to stop whining.
