#14329: Buddy window steals focus when an account is disconnected or cannot
establish connection

 I have internet connection that needs to be manually established each
 time, i.e. when I login into the system there is some time when internet
 is not accessible at all.  During this time, Pidgin starts (restored by WM
 from session) and tries to connect to the various servers I have
 configured.  If I'm not quick enough, it finds that accounts cannot be
 connected and pops notification(s) at the bottom of the buddy window.
 This notifications steal focus.

 To clarify: Pidgin always raises new windows, e.g. on the first
 conversation.  However, this windows are not active, merely raised.  If I
 type in a different application, I can continue to do so even if it is not
 visible anymore.  Buddy list with disconnection notification, however,
 _does_ steal focus: it is not only raised, but is activated.  Often this
 happens right when I'm typing sudo password in a terminal program, so half
 of the password (and the terminating Enter) doesn't get through to sudo.
