Raising conversation tabs over D-Bus

[Austin Clements]

'Lo.  I'm integrating Pidgin into my window manager and would like to
be able to create new Pidgin conversations over D-Bus.  Unfortunately,
pidgin_conv_present_conversation doesn't raise the tab of a
conversation unless it was called in response to a GTK event (even
though it unconditionally raises the window containing the tab).
Thus, new conversations appear in background tabs and there's no way
to foreground an existing conversation over D-Bus.

Is this a bug/oversight or a fundamental limitation?  The code is
fairly explicit about singling out GTK events, but gives no
justification as to why.

Thanks in advance,
