Comment 5 for bug 259394

I am experiencing the same bug with Pidgin 2.6.3 on Ubuntu Karmic. Also, when Pidgin creates a new conversation window when someone messages me, it appears in the foreground but does not have focus. This is always very confusing and often leads to me screwing up something in whatever window does have focus. Ideally it should either be created in the foreground and not have focus or it should appear in the foreground with focus.
