Pidgin stuck, Always On Top ?

[Russell Foster]

Hi Pidginers.



Pidgin 2.10.9



I did something yesterday (clicking around the desktop), and now my Pidgin window is always on top.



I can't find where in settings/preferences to control/disable this.



I don't want it always on top.. As a result it constantly takes space on the desktop, and other windows will not go over it even if I full screen them.



Unless, of course I minimize pidgin, but I want it available and open on the desktop, just not always on top.



Any ideeyers?



Thanx

Hi Russell,

If you open Tools->Plugins then find the 'Windows Pidgin Options' plugin
and press the 'Configure Plugin' button at the bottom of the window,
there's an option for 'Always on top'. Is that the setting that you
toggled that made Pidgin always stay on top?

Cheers,
Eion

Got it.



Unchecked the "Dockable Buddy List" from plugin settings, and it is back to normal.
