Pidgin icon in notification area

[pradeepbp]

Foe me, Pidgin always got minimised to the notification area in the panel. But recently it does not happen. On clicking the close button, it simply vanishes. I am unable to find out the reason, Some body help me please.

I got it solved after some research. My notification area was missing.
Now the icon is visible.

Thanks for the reply.
