Pidgin plug-in default action is "Copy to clipboard" instead of "chat"

[Chereji Mihai]

The plug-in detects the contact names, but the only option it gives is "Copy to clipboard" for any contact. I'm not sure exactly when this bug appeared, I will try installing older versions of all the parties involved, to see which makes a difference.

Same problem here. Can it be fixed?

Same bug on Sabayon 4.2 with gnome-do-plugins-0.8.2.
Appears with gnome-do-0.8.0, 0.8.2, pidgin-2.5.7, 2.5.8.
Seems copying pidgin.dll from version higher than 0.8.0 and lower than 0.8.2 of gnome-do-plugins could be a temp-fix. Does anyone have that file?

[Przemysław Kochański (kochas315)]

From version 0.8.2 plugins are stored as .maddin files instead of .dll files so copying them is impossible due to incompatibility. Pidgin plugin from 0.8.2 must be fixed by a developer.

Same here. Please fix this bug.

System info: Archlinux, pidgin 2.6.2, gnome-do 0.8.2

Problem still exist, after force-using chat It sometimes work (sometimes default acion is chat), sometimes dont.
I use Gadu-Gadu network, maby problem is only there?

I've got the problem with msn, jabber and icq, so it's not network-related.

The 'chat' action does not show up at all while I'm searching for some contact. The icon that shows up in docky after I click on the contact, on the other hand, does have a menu item to start the chat.

Same here on Ubuntu 10.04, the problem is still not fixed? I am using gnome-do 0.8.3.1 with pidgin 2.6.6

I'm still having the same problem... is there any chance that this bug will ever been fixed? :)

[Chereji Mihai (croncobaurul)]

I think the problem may lie with Pidgin and not the plug-in. By default, the package for Ubuntu comes with the Compile with D-Bus flag turned off, and I believe that the plug-in relies on D-Bus to send the command to pidgin.

Same problem here, the thing is that it worked when i had installed it under 10.10 64bits without any problem, but when this week i reinstalled the 32bit version of Maverick pidgin gnome-do functionality was gone.

The problem is the same as describer in earlier posts, "Copy to clipboard" instead of "chat", i don't get an option to do a chat.
