Hi David,

The notification shows perfectly when I type: notify-send "Hello" "World".

Maybe I need to explain a bit more: I can see the notification for any IM message, EXCEPT for the IM messages which starts a conversation.

For example:

1. I start Pidgin.
2. Alice says me "Hello!". Result: the notification is NOT shown, because her IM message starts our conversation.
3. Alice then says "How are you?". Result: the notification IS shown, because this is her second IM message and it doesn't start a conversation (the previous conversation is still opened).
4. Alice then says "Are you there?". Result: the notification IS shown, because again her IM message doesn't start a conversation.
5. Now Bob says me "Hi!". Result: the notification is NOT shown, because his IM message starts a conversation.
6. New Alice says me "Hi again!". Result: the notification IS shown, because her IM message doesn't start a convesation.
7. Now I close the Alice message (or tab in a tabbed Pidgin window), so the Alice conversation is now closed.
8. Alice says me "Hey!". Result: the notification is NOT shown, because I previously closed her window, and now her new IM message starts a new conversation.

I hope that now everything is clear.
