What's happening here is that the Pidgin buddy list feels very similar to a menu
popup, but is actually implemented as a regular window. Pidgin seems to be one
of the few applications where the application relied on the behavior of
gtk_window_present() bringing windows to the current workspace.

On Compiz it seems to have the same behavior, which is interesting, because
before Compiz and Metacity differed on the gtk_window_present(), so there must
be some Pidgin-specific differentiation occuring somehow.

Anyways, since the Firefox patch was removed before Fedora 8, there isn't much
point to having this patch in Fedora 8 either. I will remove it and add an update.

We will figure out how to fix Firefox and Metacity together for Fedora 9, and
update them in sync.
