 Replying to [comment:63 PidginGuy]:
 > I'm shocked that the homepage still hasn't been updated with a 2.7.1
 version that contains the necessary .dll file. I've beta tested before,
 and I'm giving thought to joining Pidgin's beta testing group to help out,
 but honestly, if it's so unorganized that once a problem is fixed, and
 three days later the update still isn't posted on the front page, then why
 even bother?

 ''I'' am the reason a 2.7.1 has not been released yet.  There are more
 important bugs than this one that were waiting for a fix.  The majority of
 those more important bugs have been solved, and there are still a couple
 more that need to be fixed.  (By "more important", I mean they cause
 crashes.  Something as simple as taskbar flashing, while annoying, is not
 critical.)  I have set a release schedule for 2.7.1 that will include this
 fix and all the others I mentioned.  I don't think 2-3 weeks is an
 unreasonable amount of time to wait for this.

 aware that this .dll patch exists.

 A simple search on this trac for "taskbar flash" (without quotes) returns
 a number of useful results.  Sure, the first several results are
 duplicates, but by clicking through them, you get here.  This ticket is
 the second to the last result on the first page of results, as well.  It's
 not terribly difficult to find.
