Notifications in Pidgin are changed without permission

[Facundo Batista]

Just upgraded to Jaunty, and when started Pidgin (1:2.5.5-1ubuntu3), notifications started to appear each time a contact went online.

Two things:

- It should be easier to configure this (it's deep into a plugin).

- The upgrade shouldn't mess with my defaults in that way, it's evil!

My pidgin version is 1:2.5.5-1ubuntu3, but I have no clue about what makes that notification appear.

that's controlled by the libnotify popup plugins and it can be disabled by going to Tools -> Plugins -> Libnotify Popups -> Configure but right it's a bit deeper and probably not easy to find to end users

This problem is related to a plug-in that is not developed by Pidgin developers.
