I was able to work-around the said behavior with the following: "CompizConfig Settings Manager" and under the "General Options" on the "Focus & Raise Behavior" tab: Focus Prevention Windows = "!(class=Pidgin)"
This will have the side effect of the pidgin conversation windows stealing focus when new conversations arrive depending on your settings in Pidgin. The "Do" chosen "conversation" tab inside the Pidgin chat window isn't automatically selected if there are existing conversations which seems like a bug as if you select a contact from the Pidgin contact the tab is automaticly selected correctly, -- pidgin contacts are launched in the background https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324281 You received this bug notification because you are a member of GNOME Do Plugins Team, which is subscribed to GNOME Do Plugins. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~do-plugins Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~do-plugins More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
