Yes, doing it on the pidgin plugin side gives us more than just string
filtering as we would actually have access to nicks. Aren't we already
using a plugin to do the notifications? The "libnotify-popups" plugin
already has a configuration UI (screenshot attached), so why not add a
checkbox there "Ignore system messages" or something similar which
would not show notifications for those, and check it by default. This
way it could be a fairly straightforward Jaunty SRU.
