Hi Johannes,

I work around this problem by adding a rule to have my pidgin windows
open in a given tag and do all my work outside of that tag.

Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it has been working for
over two years now :)

Good luck!

PS: here's my rule:

    { rule = { class = "Pidgin", role = "conversation" },
      properties = { maximized_horizontal = true,
                     maximized_vertical = true,
                     tag = tags[1][9],
                     size_hints_honor = false }},
