 Within Windows 2000 at least, the new setting ''Minimize new conversation
 windows'' appears to have a peculiar defect: it will frequently raise the
 most recently created window instead, even if you are in the middle of
 typing in another application.

 Ticket #2414 randomly blamed all sorts of causes but, as I noted in my
 comment at the bottom (hoping to re-open it) I can reproduce with all
 plugins disabled.

 ''From that ticket:''[[BR]]
 When Pidgin creates a new conversation window (either tabbed or non-
 tabbed), the last-focused Pidgin window stands a good chance of being
 raised instead. This can be any window -- a previous conversation window
 (if tabs are off), or the Buddy List window, or Accounts, or Plugins, or
 anything.

 One critical deciding factor is that the window must be shown (although
 not focused) -- minimised windows will not be restored. If the Buddy List
 window is minimised, it will remain minimised when the new conversation
 window appears. If the Buddy List window is visible (but not focused) it
 will be brought forward. The same applies to any other window. It will be
 the top-most visible Pidgin window.

 Any clues?
