Public bug reported:
It seems Pidgin unity integration plugin very much depends on focus
prevention plugin(compiz) to work properly.
By default focus prevention plugin is set to low which prevents any
window to gain focus if a full-screen app is running. Now in pidgin
preference, "Hide new IM conversations" is set to "ALWAYS" which always
brings IM window in focus and thus bypassing messaging menu altogether.
It only works as compiz prevents the IM window to gain focus. But this
compiz behavior is not very reliable and most times, only work properly
if a app is running FULL-SCREEN.
How to reproduce:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 1: (focus prevention= low, Hide new IM conversations= Always)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Configure a jabber account.
2. Open any other and run it fullscreen.
3. Send a IM to yourself from a different account (from mobile, webapp or from
any other pc)
4. Indicator will turn blue.
5. Clicking on the source message brings IM window to focus.
However if mo full screen app is running, pidgin will immediately brings
IM window, sometimes bypassing the messaging menu. It still doesn't get
focus due to focus-prevention settings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 2: (focus prevention= off, Hide new IM conversations= Always)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Configure a jabber account.
2. Open any other and run it fullscreen.
3. Send a IM to yourself from a different account (from mobile, webapp or from
any other pc)
4. This immediately brings IM window to focus and thus completely
bypassing the messaging menu.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario 3: (focus prevention= off, Hide new IM conversations= Never)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Configure a jabber account.
2. Open any other and run it fullscreen.
3. Send a IM to yourself from a different account (from mobile, webapp or from
any other pc)
4. Indicator will turn blue.
5. However clicking source message in messaging menu doesn't do anything. IM
window stays hidden.
So it seems, setting "Hide new IM conversations= Never" makes unity
integration useless. It heavily depends on two major condition:
1. focus prevention = on (default condition)
2. Hide new IM conversations= Always (default condition ?)
Even if it can depend on condition 2, it should not depend on Compiz's
focus prevention plugin.
