 This happens when using the Gaim that is included in Ubuntu Edgy and with
 the MSN protocol, but I think it happens in other versions of Gaim and
 with other protocols too.

 The problem is as follows: when chatting with multiple people at the same
 time, Gaim uses one window with tabs. When you change your active window
 to - for example - Firefox, the nickname of the person last chatted to
 stays in the panel's Window List item. When someone from another tab says
 something to you, the panel item starts flashing, but the original
 nickname stays; it thus seems that this person has said something.

 Solution: when the panel item starts flashing, it should update the
 nickname to the person who has last said something to you.
