Public bug reported: The meaning of the option “Display incoming events in the notification area” is not clear. At first glance it looks like it would do what it says, which is control whether incoming events (messages) are shown in the notification area. However, what it actually does is “automatically open incoming events” (when off), or “hide incoming events in the notification area instead of opening them in the chat window”. This option’s description should be made more clear. See bug #652568 and its duplicates for several cases where this problem has bitten people
