Comment(by kagesenshi):

 hi hexchain,

 unfortunately i'm not sure how to fix both issues.

 1) this is because the notification is created by subscribing to
 ConversationCreated dbus event, which, is also triggered when a
 conversation window is opened. Originally I made it to subscribe to
 ReceivedImMsg event, however, this does not work for 1st message as the
 reference id to conversation object is 0, so the plugin wouldnt know which
 conversation that message belongs to. Only on the 2nd message after a
 conversation window have been created will the conversation reference
 becomes a number. The plugin need the reference id for the reply mechanism
 and buddy icon to work.

 I'm not sure how to fix this without introducing complexity which can make
 it become unreliable, pidgin crashes here if there is a dbus call that ask
 for any object with reference 0. I figured out its safer to link directly
 to conversation rather than trying to figure out whats the conversation
 window is (which might result in reference 0). In case you did not notice
 yet, the notification also closes when a conversation window is closed.

 2) For this, if theres a dbus method which I can call to set the
 conversation as read, it should be easily fixed, anybody reading this
 ticket have clues on what to call and what the parameters?.  If theres no
 dbus method, yep it'll be tough to implement.
