Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
laney@chicken:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu hardy (development branch)
Release: 8.04
laney@chicken:~$ apt-cache policy pidgin
pidgin:
Installed: 1:2.3.1-2ubuntu1
Candidate: 1:2.3.1-2ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 1:2.3.1-2ubuntu1 0
800 http://

When a message is received in Pidgin, the notification area icon flashes as expected. Clicking this icon in Gutsy always used to switch to the desktop with the IM window on and activate it. Clicking it now only shows the IM window in the window list. It does not switch to the desktop with it on, nor does it cancel the unread status.
Steps to repro:
1. Start a conversation with somebody
2. Switch to another desktop
3. When a message is received and the notification area icon is flashing, click it
4. The desktop is not switched to the one with the IM window, but the IM window now appears in window list.
Expected behaviour:
At 4, the desktop should switch and activate the IM window.
This is a regression from Gutsy.

Description of problem:
When I open a new tab (via right click on a terminal, clicking on something in
liferea, whatever), firefox immediately jumps onto the current workspace.
This is irritating.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox- 2.0.0.6- 11.fc8
Additional info:
Seems related to the startup notification patch, as it worked ok in 2.0.0.6-8.fc8.
