I just released the version 0.14.2 of the pidgin-libnotify plugin. It now includes autoclose as an option, as well as the led alert.
So if you have the led option enabled when you receive an alert it will blink the led (just like it does when you receive an SMS) until the notification is closed.
If autoclose is enabled, the notification will be closed automatically in 3 seconds. Otherwise it stays open. If you click on it, it'll focus the IM window of the buddy that talked to you (and caused the notification). If that window was previously closed, it'll reopen it.
I'm waiting for the upload permission on the repo, so if you're one of the first 10 people that read this post, you can download it from:
Do you mean for the Conversations software? I thought it had all kind of notifications implemented.
I think Conversations is closed source software anyway. You could edit the MSN Pecan plugin to add notifications for it but if you want them in Skype or any other that's closed you would be in trouble.
I also use MSN pecan but for pidgin. Since Conversations and pidgin use libpurple their protocols can be used in both.

I'd love to try this out myself - however I can't get it from RS (it doesn't say anything about the download limit though). Just wondering if you could possibly upload it to the thread itself? I believe that is possible...

pidgin > Conversations
Well, yes, but would be great if we can get notifications of status changes (this contact gets online, this other gets offline and so).
http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#...ication_dialog for notifications, a C equivalent of the code is welcome, I need it for something :P
Empathy (based on Telepahty) notifies about online/offline contacts, so I guess telepathy sends dbus signals when a user goes online/offline, so it should be doable with a daemon.
I'd love this script but is there a way that i can enable autoclose but still get the led light on? because if i enabled autoclose the led light blinks twice and then gone so it didnt really notify me anything, i want to be able to get new messages without having to close each additional window open... thanks

The problem is where do you put the code that makes the LED stop blinking? Right now is when the notification is closed.
I can't put the code when the message window is focused because it's autofocused when you receive a message so it would be the same behavior. Maybe when you answer the message but if you don't want to answer: same problem.
