Known problem.
Unfortunately it's not as simple as "never bring windows forward". For
example, if you aren't typing anything, or there are no chat windows
open, you probably want a new message to activate the relevant window.
If you are in the middle of typing you certainly don't want another
window taking the focus (generally speaking). So we need to work out
some intelligent way to decide when windows are activated.
