I modified the pidgin-libnotify plugin (since Maemo uses a libnotify compatible notification daemon) so it shows the very same notifications the python script does and also makes the phone vibrate.

I guess if anyone is interested I could create a .deb package an upload it to extras-devel or extra-testing.

please do... i hope that it shows as a notification like how we get it on conversations.

Care to test it first? Just copy the pidgin-libnotify.so in /usr/lib/pidgin in your Maemo device, and activate it in pidgin in Tools -> Plugins.

I will do some others optimizations/testing before packaging, but you could try it out.

Did you check your settings selecting the plugin and pressing the "Configure Plugin" button?

You can select the notification you want to receive there. Right now I have selected "Vibrate" and "New messages" and I receive the notification when I receive a message from a pidgin window that is not focused.

it works for me.
wonder what kind of optimizations you got in mind.

Good to move it to repo.

Well we could release this as a first version 0.14.1.

I was thinking for example: right now the notification is auto-closed in 3 seconds. I was thinking to put an option to not close the notifications but if you click on them instead it goes to the pidgin window that sent the notification.

I think that's the Conversations behavior. To me it's really annoying because if you receive a lot of messages from different people you have to click on them to close them & go to the window. But maybe there's people out there that like that.

BTW the original maintainer of the plugin looks like he abandoned it in 2008. It's still his software that's why he's on the credits, I just added a few lines to port it to Maemo.

the option to not close the notification would be a nice thing to have

first of all:
nice porting. the plugin works as it should. thank you.

would be a nice feature.

for me the best solution is to let the user set the popup-timeout.
and make a checkbox if a click on the popup brings the conversation to foreground or just removes the popup. (:
