This is still a pretty giant problem for me. If you select a new message entry in the indicator applet, the launcher entry just wiggles, demanding attention instead of foregrounding the window. Pidgin isn't the only app to do this, Thunderbird does as well. It all used to work in 12.04 as well, but as "fixes" are rolled into the LTS release, it is slowly breaking there as well.

I have created a capture video to explain it. First you see that the applet can bring up pidgin fine. But when I open a new tab in opera and then click the applet the contact list of pidgin is not opened in the foreground. But you can see it appear in the bar at the bottom.
