I can confirm this bug! I'm using the "Classic Desktop". I tried to install the newer version from getdeb.net but that didn't help and I also tried to remove the ~/.purple directory.
Is there a workaround for this?

Apparently the default in the netbook remix is to not show the tray icon. The setting for this is in Pidgin's Preferences dialog; it is the first control on the first tab.

This was an embarrasingg "bug" :) I wonder why anyone wouldn't like to show that tray icon but let's not discuss that here.
I guess this report can be closed after it is fixed in the desktop switching tool.
