Comment:

 Not going to happen, setting that for a window is properly the job of the
 window manager, the fact that metacity forgets it over hiding of the
 window may be something pidgin could work around (if we are doing
 something incorrectly, but not if we are acting properly). The fact that
 metacity doesn't allow you to specify per-window properties you would like
 it to set is an intentional deficiency in the window manager. You can
 either switch to a window manager without such deficiencies or learn to
 use programs like devilspie (or my less well tested
 [http://unreliablesource.net/luaspie/ luaspie]) which are designed to work
 around these sorts of limitations.

 I'm leaving this open until I can investigate what exactly we do in this
 case and what we should be doing.
