Pidgin not closing on xfce

**Wurger** · 23-Jan-2014, 12:51

My system: 13.1 XFCE

When I use Pidgin and try to close it it doesn't. I have to kill it with task manager and if I forget it autostarts after next boot. Any hints? Googling didn't bring much.

And which thing should I edit. Found nothing connected with Pidgin autostarting.

I think that you don't understand.

Pidgin is not in autostart.

When it is not started by my it wont start after boot. But whet I start it and want to quit it from inside the app it doesn't want to finish. I click close and nothing happens. I have to launch the Task Manager and kill the proces. If I will not do it then after the next boot pidgin will be launched automatically.

This is a bug and it is anoying.

If I leave chromium opened it will not start after next boot automatically.
