Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
I've selected "only on this desktop" in Pidgin but new conversations pop up on the active desktop which is a problem if you're running full screen applications on some of the desktops. Best solution to this is to give an option deciding what the user wishes to do with new windows.

I can't see an "only on this desktop" option. Can you give me the exact steps to reproduce?
As a possible work-around (if you are using KDE) you can right-click on the title bar of the Buddy List and select:
Advanced -> Special Application Settings -> Geometry and check the Desktop checkbox, select Force from the 1st dropdown and select your desired desktop from the second dropdown.
