Description solotim 2008-07-07 23:34:13 UTC 
Unchecking the "show contact list" just hide the Empathy task bar, but the window doesn't hide.
I'm using Xubuntu8.04
Comment 1 Xavier Claessens 2008-07-08 18:04:37 UTC 
Work for me. Which window manager are you using? Metacity?
Comment 2 solotim 2008-07-09 13:37:10 UTC 
Whatever window manager I use, the problem still occurs. I'm currently using "Default" window manager of Xubuntu 8.04.
Would you like to tell me how to trouble shoot this problem?
Comment 3 Xavier Claessens 2008-07-13 18:49:01 UTC 
Default? Where do you see that?
Comment 4 solotim 2008-07-16 13:24:18 UTC 
Applications->Settings->Settings Manager->Window Manager.
I currently chose "Agualemon" window manager.
Is the information I offered enough to diagnose the problem?
p.s I'm using Empathy 0.23.1, supposed to be the latest deb version?

Duplicate of bug #541154?
Comment 6 Xavier Claessens 2008-07-16 13:33:42 UTC 
I don't have that menu... and I never heard about "Agualemon"...

Please try with a "known" window manager like compiz or metacity. There is 99% of chance that the bug comes from the WM.
Comment 7 solotim 2008-07-17 13:26:03 UTC 
As the WM of Xubuntu is xfwm4, and based on your opinion, this is a bug of xfwm4, so we should close this bug-report, right? I just hope Empathy can work with XFCE smoothly...
Comment 8 Jonny Lamb 2008-07-30 12:54:23 UTC 
Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/491817 seems to show the same problems as this bug. I reported a very similar bug with another less common WM (bug #541154) and that was fixed upstream, so this supports my belief that the bug is probably in the WM.
Comment 9 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-06-10 13:25:55 UTC 
Closing this bug for now. Feel free to reopen if you have evidences that Empathy is doing something wrong.
