Comment 4 for bug 363108

Ok, so it's confirmed as a pidgin issue, not a notify-osd one. Thanks for your feedback.

Now, we need to figure out if it's a normal behavior or if it's not.
Does pidgin open a window with "Hello!" at step #2? Or does it silently receives the message, does not display a window with "Hello!" and does not display a notification either? The former would explain why you don't see a notification, ie because you see the message in the window anyway, so there is no point duplicating the visual signals. Whereas the latter would be a bug, because the application is just "eating" the first message.

All that may sound obvious, but depending on your settings some "apparently" fine behavior may be a bug, so that's why I'm asking.
