Comment(by tilo):

 I have the same issue on LINUX / Fedora 12 .. using fvwm2.. sigh!
 Whenever somebody IMs me, the virtual screen changes to wherever the
 *existing* Pidgin chat window
 is (containing an existing IM tab) and the mouse + mouse focus are in the
 Pidgin chat window.

 Super annoying + it simply makes Pidgin *unusable* - period.

 It would be great if you guys could up the priority on this bug + find a
 work-around for this..
