--------------------+--------------------
 When a Jabber account receives an unsolicited type='headline' XMPP
 <message/> with a body, pidgin opens a focus-stealing window (sceenshot
 attached).

 This is actively exploited by spammers. The fact that it steals focus is
 bad for the user experience.
