I can confirm that this bug as been fixed

I've got to reopen this bug. I'm using an up to date Intrepid with all the latest updates installed. When i click on the "show" Button inside a notification nothing happen. The conversation window of Pidgin won't get moved into the foreground.

$ dpkg -l pidgin*
ii pidgin 1:2.5.1-0ubuntu2 graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for
ii pidgin-data 1:2.5.1-0ubuntu2 multi-protocol instant messaging client - data files
un pidgin-festival <keine> (keine Beschreibung vorhanden)
ii pidgin-libnotify 0.13-0ubuntu2 display notification bubbles in pidgin
ii pidgin-otr 3.2.0-1 Off-the-Record Messaging plugin for pidgin

I'm using Metacity as window manager, desktop effects are deactivated.

Hi,

This has been driving me mad for a few weeks. I have 2 Intrepid machines, one fresh install, one upgraded from Hardy .... both have the same issue. I have tried tabbed and separate windows/chat and the show button never works. Using Gnome Window manager. Here is the dpkg output for info:

dpkg -l pidgin*
ii pidgin 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1 graphical multi-protocol instant messaging client for X
ii pidgin-data 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1 multi-protocol instant messaging client - data files
ii pidgin-encryption 3.0-3 pidgin plugin that provides transparent encryption
ii pidgin-extprefs 0.7-2 extended preferences plugin for the instant messenger pidgin
ii pidgin-festival 2.3-1 pidgin plugin to hear incoming messages using voice synthesis
ii pidgin-libnotify 0.13-0ubuntu2 display notification bubbles in pidgin
ii pidgin-otr 3.2.0-1 Off-the-Record Messaging plugin for pidgin
ii pidgin-plugin-pack 2.2.0-1 30 useful plugins for pidgin

I noticed that sometimes a nautilus window gets opened instead of the pidgin chat window...

@Oliver do you have Compiz enable?
When i have it on, I cant open chats via the ballons.
Also make sure and tell us if you are using the Guifications or Libnotify plugin.

I am using Libnotify. My computer at home has full Compiz enablement and the show button does nothing. My work laptop has Compiz installed but it stopped working a couple of weeks after installing intrepid and now I cannot turn on any of the desktop effects by the "Appearance" application ... and the show button does not work: not sure if this is relevant - quite happy to try some experiments if you want me to add/remove anything.

Just done a test and found the reason Compiz has stopped working is my dual screen setup:

sudo compiz --replace
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present.
Trying again with indirect rendering:
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (2680x1050) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Failed.
aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity

I can confirm this problem still persist

With the new notifications system, buttons don't show up on notification bubbles, so this bug has no effect.
