Can anything be done about this?
The Fedora Pidgin package needs to be fixed. I just fixed XChat a few hours ago. After years-long discussion, it seems we finally agreed on "Name=XChat IRC", "Name=Pidgin Instant Messaging" etc. as a compromise. (The real solution according to the freedesktop.org standard would be Name=XChat, GenericName=IRC or Name=Pidgin, GenericName=Instant Messaging, but the problem is that GNOME still does not support GenericName.)
Found the old WontFix bug, re-opened, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=293781
Added to distro tracker. Will pull-rank, escalate issue this time if maintainer doesn't conform to established guidelines and policy here. (It's about time, it was originally reported eons ago... by me).
