Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
With Jaunty beta and notifyosd, and with "libnotify popups" ticked in Plugins, Pidgin displays an "X is online" popup for each online buddy on my buddy list, and hangs the UI while it's doing it; if there are a lot of people online then the popups take a long time to display (because only one at a time is shown) and so Pidgin is hung and unusable for a long time.

This is correct, unfortunately it's part of the design of libnotify. It waits for a response before it will let the app continue processing. The only way that pidgin-libnotify could work arround that is to fork libnotify.
