 when a mew message arrives, with the option "Flash window when IMs are
 received" activated, the taskbar only blinks for 3 times and then loses
 the highlight.

 This is bad, if I miss those 3 blinks I cannot now that someone sent me a
 message (ok... I knot that the system tray icon changes and it even
 blinks, but it is now enough for me).

 I did a little research and find that in C:\Documents and
 Settings\Nuno\Application Data\.purple\prefs.xml:

 {{{
 <pref name='X11'>
   <pref name='notify'>
     <pref name='type_im' type='bool' value='1'/>
     <pref name='type_chat' type='bool' value='1'/>
     <pref name='type_chat_nick' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='type_focused' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='method_string' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='title_string' type='string' value='(*)'/>
     <pref name='method_urgent' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='method_count' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='method_count_xprop' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='method_raise' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='notify_focus' type='bool' value='1'/>
     <pref name='notify_click' type='bool' value='1'/>
     <pref name='notify_type' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='notify_send' type='bool' value='0'/>
     <pref name='notify_switch' type='bool' value='1'/>
   </pref>
 </pref>
 }}}

 I set <pref name='method_urgent' type='bool' value='0'> to value='1'
 but it still didn't work.
 I turned Flash window when IMs are received off and then back on again,
 and it worked nicely as it is supposed - flash 3 times and then stay
 highlighted.

 then I restarted Pidgin and it happens again - fhash 3 times and then lose
 the highlight.

 Oh, and with the message notification plugin it happens the same thing! If
 I activate the prepend string into window title - (*), after some short
 seconds it goes away without me focusing it. It seems that someting is
 reseting the window state.


 I have GTK+ 2.10.11 Rev B
 Not using TweakUI
