Comment:

 Yes, it pops up when it’s minimized to the tray.

 It’s not a good idea to have it pop up. Pidgin won’t get „lost“ if the
 status bar disappears, it’s still running in the background and informs
 you about incoming chats.

 And, one is going to notice once one wants to chat to someone proactively,
 so this design choice is rather needless and highly annoying on well-
 functioning window managers (who allow restarting in place).
