Thanks!

this bar/popup/banner is called through dbus afaik.

dbus commands can be easily sent - for example in xterm:

Code:

dbus-send-notification "foo bar boo bah bang"

(for some fun with dbus take a look at: http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Jebba/DBUS )

mhm... unfortunately i don't know how to program plugins for pidgin but maybe i will take a short look into it ^^

it can't be this hard ;D

(in "normal" pidgin there is something similar done with libnotify which unfortunately isn't available in pidgin - but you may have just to change the libnotify-call to a dbus-call ^^)
