I think I might have figured it out - is this it's way of telling me I
have new mail? Disabling mail notifications *seems* to have stopped
this flashing behavior

in that screenshot, my friend happened to ping me a few seconds
before Pidgin started flashing, but I don't believe they're
related. The buddy list likes to just appear from the system tray
and start flashing. It doesn't maximize itself or come into view -
just appears in the taskbar and starts flashing.
Is this a feature I don't understand? It seems to be trying to
notify me of something, but I don't know what :)

Aha. Which window is flashin?
If it is the buddy list, then you can just close it (make sure you
have set it to minimize to systray,
I think this is the default).

I'm running 2.6.3
By "In latest (v2.6.x) this can be set in menu Tools / Plugins :
Message Notification" you mean I can UNCHECK "Message
Notification". I have ZERO plugins checked. What I'm describing
doesn't appear to be a notification. It's just a weird flashing
that happen randomly throughout the day.
I'll fire up Camtasia and take a video of it next time it happens
and send it to you guys :)
David Woolley explanation sounds accurate - this seems like a low
level Windowing oddity more than a feature.

Subject: Taskbar Flashing
I'm running Pidgin on Windows (XP) - is there a setting/preference
to instruct Pidgin to not flash in the Windows taskbar while
running? I'm not really sure why it's flashing exactly, but I'm
guessing it's notifying me that one or more buddies just came
online. That's not really useful to me and because I'm using Pidgin
to consolidate four different IM networks together, my buddy list is
quite large. So, Pidgin is pretty much flashing constantly all
day.
Pidgin is definitely a keeper if I can figure out how to make it
stop flashing, but nothing is jumping out at me from scanning the
menu options
Any tips would be appreciated
Thanks -kelly
