Empathy without Indicator Applet doesn't flash the tray icon when my nick is mentioned

[Michael]

Binary package hint: empathy

Sorry to be reporting so many bugs in Empathy... when Indicator Applet integration is not on in Empathy and someone mentions my nick in an IRC channel or conversation which is already open in a tab, the Empathy tray icon does not flash. If someone sends me a private message (/query) and I have no conversation with them currently open, the icon flashes as expected. I get this with Empathy from Lucid, and with the Lucid PPA version of Tue 23 March 2010 (in the PPA version Indicator Applet integration is not working, which makes this more noticable).

Not sure if this is supposed to be like that, but I would personally prefer it if the tray icon did flash when someone mentions my nick.

This bug is rather old. Could you test with updated Lucid or even better, with Maverick? Thanks!

Still seems to be current with updated Lucid. It is no longer very relevant to me though now that empathy is usable with indicator-applet, so that you might want to close this ticket unless it is of particular interest to you.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
