Comment:

 Replying to [comment:1 sadrul]:
 > It is not possible for finch to determine if finch is or is not in
 focus. You can configure finch to emit a beep/play a sound when a new
 message comes in (by either using the gntgf plugin (shipped with finch),
 or configuring the sound settings (from the alt+a actions menu)).
 >
 > Having said that, you can try the 'pietray' dbus plugin (in
 /finch/plugins), or one of the useful plugins from

 thanks. as we chatted earlier on freenode, it's not quite working for some
 reason

 > pidgin-libnotify is specifically for pidgin, and it will not work with
 finch. I don't think it's supposed to cause a crash in finch, though. So I
 would be interested in a [http://pidgin.im/gdb.php backtrace] from the
 crash.
 went away after starting the program with gdb... wierd.....
