#3486: Plugin Doesn't Start Automatically

 I just installed Ubuntu Gutsy Beta, which now comes with Pidgin (I was a
 Gaim user before as that was included with Feisty).  I haven't installed
 any plugin packs, so I believe this is a default plugin that comes with
 Pidgin.

 When I used to use Gaim, the window I was instant messaging in
 automatically blinked when I had an unread message (I had not yet focused
 on it).  It now seems that feature is gone in Pidgin and has been put into
 a plugin instead.  When I activate the plugin, it works perfectly fine,
 however I'd like it to start again automatically after I close the program
 and open it again.  Instead it is turned off again, and I have to check
 the plugin again so it will work.

 I presume plugin's are supposed to start on reload automatically, so I am
 wondering why this isn't happening in my case.  I wasn't sure if it was a
 permission issue, so I changed the permissions to 777 on all the files in
 /usr/lib/pidgin , but that didn't do anything.

 Any help would be appreciated.

 Thanks
