Bug Description

if someone messages me when my screen is locked in gutsy, pidgin takes focus away from the password field in the unlock screen prompt. so when i type my password in to unlock my screen it is sent to whoever has messaged me!

clicking in the password box didn't help, the only way i could get back in to my system was to switch user and relogin..

obviously this is both annoying and worrying..
