Comment(by mino):

 Hi all,

 I've written an extremely simple plugin, 'chatpop', based on the 'psychic'
 and 'signals-test' core plugins. I haven't done C in years and know
 NOTHING AT ALL about pidgin plugins, except for what I hacked together for
 this purpose, so please don't mock my crappy plugin. It works for me: it
 brings up a window whenever I get a persistent chat message from a close
 chat, opens a new tab if required, doesn't steal focus from other apps or
 other active chat tabs, blinks my notification bar. That's all I need.

 It probably doesn't follow any niceties or standards of pidgin plugins --
 I certainly 'cheated' by just sticking it alongside the other plugins in
 libpurple/plugins and compiling it from there, I don't know how well it
 will work standalone.

 That said, it works for my purposes; if anyone wants it, the code is at
 [http://custardsource.com/scratch/chatpop.c] and an AMD64 binary is at
 [http://custardsource.com/scratch/chatpop.so].

 Modify as you wish; it's really pretty simple, as far as I can tell all
 you really need is:

 {{{
 static void received_chat_msg_cb(...)
 {
     purple_conversation_present(chat);
 }
 }}}

 and that seems to do what I need.
