Comment:

 Those options both depend on cooperation from your Window Manager and
 other applications.

 The 'Present' option simply requests that your WM make the window the
 active window. What your WM/DE does with that is entirely up to it.

 The 'Raise' option directly requests a change in the Z-order of the window
 but that will only effect a change with regard to other windows within the
 same class/type (or that aren't otherwise specially handled).

 The chances that pidgin is doing something wrong here are vanishingly
 small compared to the chances that your WM/DE is ignoring some or all of
 the request.
