 One of Pidgin's best features is the ability to have tabbed chat windows,
 but for the folks out there that still wish to have separate windows (for
 individual accounts or even for individual contacts), they may encounter
 some frustration. New conversation windows open in the exact same
 position, with the exact same dimensions as existing conversation windows.
 This means that to get to your old conversations, you will have to either
 drag the new window out of the way before clicking behind it, or find it
 in your taskbar and click it.

 I am currently using Windows XP as my operating system. I was not able to
 find any option in Pidgin's Preferences to stagger/shift windows so that
 they would cascade with each new conversation window opened. Is this an
 easy enhancement to create for a future version of Pidgin?
