Comment 6 for bug 589890

Does a patch that uses purple_conversation_present(conv) and then pidgin_conv_window_switch_gtkconv(gtkconv->win, gtkconv) also work?

purple_conversation_present just triggers the present ui_op but does so in a valid, safe, supported fashion rather than by poking internals directly. The switch_gtkconv call is only necessary because of http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/8692 and ideally if we fix that the extra call will become unnecessary.
