Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin

I triggered this after the indicator notified me of a new message. I read the message in Pidgin first, then closed the conversation window, and then navigated to the indicator and selected the "unread" message again (which was the conversation window I just closed)

Patch to fix which removes the indicators when the conversation is closed.

pidgin-libnotify (0.14-1ubuntu7) jaunty; urgency=low

  * /debian/patches/indicate.patch: Making it so that there is
    also a function watching for destroyed conversations and
    destroying the indicators if they're left on the conversations.
    This fixes LP: #340717

  * /debian/patches/indicate.patch:
    * Making it so that there is also a function watching for
      destroyed conversations and destroying the indicators if
      they're left on the conversations. This fixes LP: #340717
    * Adjusting the timeout to block new logins when an account
      connects to be 15 seconds. This helps the flood on slow
      connections. Also, made it so that logins raise indicators
      that show up in the indicator applet. Both of these are
      trying to resolve many of the issues in LP: #345494
    * Make it so that icons are scaled to 48x48 at aspect ratio
      so that they don't get squashed. Patch from Cody Russell
      on LP: #338483
