Description:

Upon having Pidgin auto starting on login (gnome sessions), Pidgin icon shrinks way down. Annoying problem, but not causing any real problems. Closing the program and reopening manually brings the icon back to the regular size. Tried resizing the entire panel big and small, makes no difference. Problem started occuring out of no where. I went for a week with no problem, and all of a sudden one reboot later with no other changes and now this has been plaguing me at every login.

Package Version: Pidgin 2.2.1-1

This task depends upon

This is more than likely some sort of upstream bug...not sure whether it would be Gnome or Pidgin. I don't use Gnome so this would be hard for me to track down.

I use kde and have a similar problem. Sometimes the pidgin icon is double the size it should be, restarting doesn't always fix it. Sometimes it just changes to normal. Prolly an upstream bug.

I should have mentioned that I use XFCE, but do not start Pidgin upon logging in.

It would be nice to know if this is related to a pidgin version upgrade, or a gtk version upgrade.

I've also noticed that when I don't autoload Pidgin from the start of the session, but rather after everything has loaded, I don't get this problem. I've noticed certain distributions have this problem, kinda hard to pinpoint exactly what's causing it.

Status with pidgin 2.3.0?
Comment by John (Acid7711) - Wednesday, 28 November 2007, 07:38 GMT
Haven't tried it yet. Will report back when I have.
Comment by John (Acid7711) - Wednesday, 28 November 2007, 07:39 GMT
Btw, I've worked around this issue by making a startup script that I launch that sleeps for 10 seconds, then launches pidgin.

Yes, I can confirm that this is still a problem. Pidgin 2.3.0-2 did not fix this.
