no Preferences for Pidgin in 11.04 classis desktop

[Hacknslash]

Binary package hint: pidgin

I am using a Dell Mini 9 with fresh install of ubuntu 11.04, so do not have much real estate. I found Unity to time consuming to use. So I changed to classic ubuntu desktop. When opening Pidgin there is no option to edit preferences, I have a File menu, but no others.

My question is why not ?
1)
You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012.
2)
apt-cache policy pidgin
pidgin:

 task bar I expected to see Edit menu
4)
Nothing happened as there was no edit menu,

I need access to the edit menu to disable the Pidgin Logs, sounds and Nasty popups when people message me.

Many thanks in advance
