Comment (by tfsmiles):

 I've been observing the same problem, except that it is far more wide
 spread; both the chat windows and the buddy list window will grab focus
 when they open.  Possibly other windows have the same problem (I'm willing
 to bet that it's all of them), but usually I'm interacting with Pidgin
 when they open so I haven't noticed.

 I am running the sawfish window manager, and Pidgin/Gaim is the only
 application which has ever had this problem.  I have tested this by
 spawning xterms and other GTK/Gnome applications and they don't steal the
 focus.  There is something unique to Pidgin which grabs focus when it
 really shouldn't.
