Bug Description

In Raring, when pidgin is running with an IRC chat window open and all others closed, I find no way to get to the main window ("Buddy List") except re-launching the "pidgin" executable, e.g. via the Dash. Until a couple of weeks ago this could be done by clicking on the "Pidgin Internet Messanger" entry in the messaging menu.
