On Windows there is a 'Minimize new conversation windows' preference that
can be used for this. On all platforms there is a 'Hide new IM
conversations' preference that can be used to hide new conversation
windows to the buddy list (not minimized).

On Linux a reasonably competent wm/de should be able to handle starting
new conversation windows minimized (though in practice there are
relatively few reasonably competent window managers).
