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 does nothing, not even 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
Expected behaviour:
At 4, the desktop should switch and activate the IM window.

This is a regression from Gutsy.
