when I closed the empathy messenger client, a little icon used to show up as a notification. When I got incoming chats, the icon used to start flashing. I reorganized content on my panel and now that functionality is gone! I tried adding "Indicator-Applet" to the panel but all this does is show up an envelope which lights up when there is some activity on empathy. I want to use the Empathy voice bubble icon instead. Any tips appreciated.

I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.0.4.

Solved. These are the steps I followed:

  1. Quit Empathy if it is running.
  2. Launch Empathy. Then, Edit -> Preferences -> Notifications. Uncheck the "Show incoming messages in the messaging menu" box. This will put up the Empathy bubble notification icon in the panel.

The process will work irrespective of whether you have the Indicator-Applet added to your panel or not.

I wouldn't remove the indicator-applet, as it also is your sound menu and power indicator.

Check this bug out on Launchpad. Is it the same as you're reporting? If it is, please sign in and click the link where it says "This bug affects X people. Does it affect you?". There are also some things to fix this issue in the bug thread.

I haven't found a plugin for empathy to add the tray icon back.
