Add Pidgin to Ubuntu 12:10 notification menu

Image
I upgraded my ubuntu 12:04 to 12:10  couple of days And to my surprise the pidgin integration in notification menu had disappeared. I couldn't figure out why this people f**ked up such an important integration. After some research and logic I was able to do some juggad and get my original gnome 2 notification style menu in notification bar . Here are the steps I followed I did not want Empathy or gwibber so I removed then Now follow these steps carefully. Open dconf-editor Add 'pidgin.desktop' to applications  in  com > canonical > indicator > messages   Change value to 'all' in  system-whitelist  in  com > canonical > unity > panel   Now Logoff and Login again and you will be able to see the Pidgin in messages notification menu. Also it now shows the gnome classic style chat notification in notification tray.. Pidgin showing in notification tray. Wohhoo..!!! , and now I am connected
