 Hello,

 I just switched from MSN to Pidgin today and am absolutely loving it so
 far.  I've only come across one problem that keeps bugging me.

 When playing a game in windowed mode, if I receive an IM without fully
 minimizing the Pidgin client (ie, its maximized but behind/underneath the
 game window), the buddy list window will come on top of the game window,
 interrupting whatever I was doing.

 I can work around this by being sure to minimize the buddy list before
 playing my game, but I'm sort of in the habbit of always having the buddy
 list open and just in the background, so whenever I minimize I can glance
 at it without having to open it from the task tray.

 I also have IM windows set to minimize when first received, but it's not
 stopping the above "bug" from happening.  Also it seems to be fairly easy
 to reproduce, but when I was testing it by having a friend message me, it
 seemed to only do it ~50% of the time... not sure if it had something to
 do with opening the buddy list then going straight to the game window
 without opening another window, or if it was just truly random.

 Any help would be greatly appreciated!
