Comment (by gryn):

 I'm a keyboard junkie:  Right now, I will often miss new emails if i rely
 on pidgin.  I can certainly download my gmail mail notification tool, but
 all I want is the icon to change, and if you want to add a sound that's
 groovy too.

 Right now, the buddy list is almost never open, because I'll have a chat
 window open instead.  Then I'll hit control-m to start chatting to a new
 guy -- using the mouse to open the buddy list isn't my style.  (Besides,
 going to hit a 16x16 icon to do a task isn't great UI [it's against fitt's
 law]).

 BTW, gluefications (sp?) will notify me if I have a new email, but i get
 so many of them, that one doesn't stand out.

 P.S. When I check email independently of pidgin (and thus the email is no
 longer new) pidgin insists that there are still new emails.
