Comment (by shello):

 I'm using Microsoft Windows XP at this time, and this is the worst 'bug' I
 can find on pidgin (I understand that it isn't a bug, but I don't have any
 other word to describe it).
 It is really bad to be writing a message and some other window pops up,
 and half message goes to another conversation. This happens to me almost
 every day.

 Under Windows XP there are the ability to create a new window without
 stealing the focus, for sure. Windows Live Messenger does it (and 'pidgin'
 user said that this happens with trillian).
 I can't understand the reason to ignore an 'hack' under windows. What
 about users?
