I believe pidgin is correctly signaling to the window manager that we want the user to see the window [1]. X window managers by design (and for good reason) are allowed to handle windows as they please [2]. In this case, it appears metacity (the default Gnome window manager) changed behavior to blink the window entry in the taskbar in this scenario rather than move the window to the current desktop. Whether they intended to do this or not is unclear. While their might be ways to trick metacity into doing what we want, it would almost certainly break things for users of other window managers which is unacceptable. -casey [1]http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-present [2]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_window_manager (Apologies if this makes it to the list twice.) _______________________________________________ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
