So prior to installing Cairo dock, I was using AWN. In the notification area in AWN, my Pidgin status icon would appear, along with my network, bluetooth, etc.

After installing Cairo dock, the Pidgin icon no longer appears in the notification area. While I was playing around with some of the applets, I noticed Notification Area Old, so I selected it. Sure enough, there was my Pidgin icon. Only one problem now, this applet is attached to the top left corner of my screen, while the dock is on the bottom center.

So, I guess I have 2 questions.

1) Why do I need Notification Area Old?

2) Why is Notification Area Old not connecting to the rest of the dock?

Thanks.

Jason

1) because Pidgin devs didn't make their application use the new systray protocol yet
you can open a bug-report on https://developer.pidgin.im, because that's a feature they should support

2) this is one reason why people (=devs) have moved to a new systray mechanism
anyway, you can attached it to the dock, but in a dialog only
so I think the best is to keep it detached, place it in a corner of the screen, above the other windows
