Comment (by eddyp):

 Second try...


 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> ari: ping
 [[BR]]
 * eddyp just saw again pidgin/gaim hide the window after sending a message
 [[BR]]
 * eddyp uses etch
 [[BR]]
 <kaol> it's just shy
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> kaol: s/shy/broken/ and you have a true statement :-)
 [[BR]]
 <jamessan> isn't that an option it has?
 [[BR]]
 * kagyau (~kevin at 66.83.54.226.nw.nuvox.net) has joined #debian-devel
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> jamessan: it shouldn't hide it once I started typing
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> it should go automatically out of away when I send a message
 [[BR]]
 [...]
 [[BR]]
 <ari> whatever your IM windows are doing, it's not gaim's fault
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> ari: "<ari> whatever your IM windows are doing, it's not gaim's
 fault", true, is the programmers' fault :-D
 [[BR]]
 <ari> the programmer of your WM
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> ari: really now, not reverting the status to "not idle" *when* I
 selected the message window, typed a message *and* sent it, is a bug; the
 action of me sending a message makes me non-idel, by definition
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> ari: blame metacity if you like, but that is the wrong approach,
 AFAICT ... gaim should revert the status to available when I send the
 message
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> in this way the windows should not be minimized, immediately after
 I sent the message
 [[BR]]
 <ari> eddyp: wait, you're complaining about the Iconify on Away plugin/
 [[BR]]
 <ari> ?
 [[BR]]
 <ari> < ari> eddyp: wait, you're complaining about the Iconify on Away
 plugin?
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> right
 [[BR]]
 <ari> uh
 [[BR]]
 * glatzor has quit (Quit: Ex-Chat)
 [[BR]]
 <ari> so either a) disable the plugin, or b) write a plugin to
 automatically set yourself available when you send a message
 [[BR]]
 * florent (~florent at pluton.sarcelle.net) has joined #debian-devel
 [[BR]]
 <eddyp> ari: or c) fix/complain about the bad behaviour of the existant
 plugin
