Let me know if I'm wrong (which is possible as I don't use empathy anymore) but do you not get a thing in the messaging menu that you can click on to bring the message to the front? That's how it works with email. I know it's not as convenient as clicking the notification, but it's not much slower (the icon should be just above the notification). -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
