The option "display incoming events in the notification area" is no more available in last Empathy 3.6.3 shipped in Raring, so no more way to "force" any incoming message to put the chat window on the focus when Empathy is in the background !
The only indication goes on the MeMenu and I missed it often. There are no more notifications, too (bubbles on the top right corner via libnotify), as there are in Pidgin and I did not find any way to configure them, only sounds can be. Well, is Empathy going like other Gnome apps (as Nautilus) and come with less and less functions or customization at each new version ? Why not let the user choose what he prefers as options ? So is there a way to have this back in Ubuntu (via Dconf or everything else) ? I prefer Pidgin but Empathy is well more integrated now, with online contacts, Telepathy...

I have to click the tray icon to see it on a new window (or an open window, depending on my confs). This is very annoying, specially if my panel containing the tray is set to autohide. There should be an option to open messages automatically and/or a better visual message notification (like pidgin's guifications).
