 When the Pidgin Buddy List is opened, but does not have the focus, then
 single-clicking on the systray icon should raise and give the focus to the
 Buddy List, instead of minimizing it to the systray.

 The reasoning is that, when the Buddy List is hidden by other windows, I
 don't want to have to think about clicking either once or twice, on the
 systray icon, to make the buddy list appear (twice, if it was hidden -it
 will first minimize it, then restore it, raised and focuses-, but only
 once, if it was in fact minimized).

 After having clicked once, because I want to use the Buddy List, I
 generally move my mouse cursor, and my eyes, to the expected location of
 the window, without thinking about the possible need to click a second
 time on the systray icon.

 The taskbar entry works as expected: if the Buddy List does not have the
 focus, it will be raised and given the focus, be it minimized or not.
 Then, clicking a second time will minimize it. The systray icon should
 match this behaviour.


 This is a relatively low-priority usability enhancement, but it should
 make things less confusing to people who use the systray icon regularly,
 to show the Buddy List.

 I am using KDE 3.5.7 (on Gentoo Linux).
