Replying to [comment:20 msundman]:
> Personally I really don't care who sent the last message, and I would
like to point out that the taskbar-notification stuff is not the only
relevant issue here. To select a tabbed window's taskbar text and icon
based on the selected tab makes it very difficult to find the conversation
you're looking for. See issue #8896 for details.
Seriously guys? This ticket is 2 years. old
msundman , you state "personally I don't care who..", but go on to state
something that is against usability. I agree the icon should always be
the pidgin icon, but you are just wrong about the taskbar title. It is
highly nonstandard, at least with windows interfaces. I'm looking at my
current taskbar and see 4 open programs which I can only identify by their
icon, and which only state the "current relevant information".
This isn't rocket science, it's trivial compared to video protocols, I
don't see why so many posts on this ticket start out with "personally",
it's a nonstandard, unintuitive interface. Stop it.
