Comment 6 for bug 207744

I realize this thread a bit stale, but this very topic is now being discussed at bugzilla.gnome by both metacity and pidgin devs. As one of those pidgin users that absolutely hates this new behavior, and wishes it worked in Ubuntu as it always did, I would be most grateful if someone from here could be there, to see if there is not some reasonable way to restore that behavior (so clicking on a buddy, warps the conversation window to the Buddy list's workstation and activates it)

The discussion is toward the bottom of this thread at gnome:

And my original discussion with pidgin people here:
