 Replying to [comment:6 Athan]:
 > I still say apps like pidgin should let you choose if they use the hint.

 Yes. Pidgin's chat window is in no sense "urgent" (I struggle to think of
 any time besides modal dialogues where focus stealing is a good idea).

 Given the security implications of this behaviour, it should not be up to
 users to tweak their WM configs.
