Comment (by deryni):

 The 'correct' way to get this sort of functionality is to use the system
 tray icon the way it was intended to be used. By setting 'Show system tray
 icon' setting to 'On hidden conversations' (which doesn't currently exist
 but could almost certainly be added' and then using 'blink' if blinking or
 being solid more suits your fancy. That's what I would vote for.

 I'd vote against putting docklet/tray icon settings in the Message
 Notification plugin as that is a level of interaction I'm not exactly
 comfortable with for that plugin, further there's little to no reason
 anyone would think to look there for it.

 Also, at this point the Message Notification plugin should be firing for
 messages that begin conversations (unless you hide new conversations) so
 it will trigger on both of your above cases.
