Comment(by deryni):

 Chat flashing and buddy list flashing are different things. But no, pidgin
 should not (and often does not) control the type, color, or method of the
 flashing merely that "some notification" should be made.

 On Windows there is a Windows setting that controls the count of flashes
 (I believe it is only exposed via TweakUI) and what to do after that count
 passes (I believe).

 On linux that sort of thing is entirely up to whatever application is
 actually flashing (e.g. your panel application).

 I don't have an opinion on whether the buddy list should flash for new
 mail notifications or not (though I lean to thinking that it should) and
 I'm loathe to add a preference for it but I don't know what other
 solutions exist to this sort of problem.
