Description of problem:

With this patch (metacity-firefox-workaround-2.patch) the used behaviour of
pidgin when clicking on the tray icon changed/broke.

Up until this patch it was possible to click on the tray icon of pidgin and no
matter on which workspace this is done the buddy list appears on that workspace.

Now if clicking the tray icon the buddy list just disappears on the workspace it
is displayed and clicking it again lets it appear on the other workspace.

>From my point of view this is a regression in the usability of my usage of the
whole desktop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I confirm this behaviour and also think this is a regression.

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.

This sounds like pidgin is trying to use _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW as a hack to
simulate "launching" the buddy window?  It could just launch it and then we know
to move it to the right workspace...

For the record pidgin has no policy decisions on what should or shouldn't 
happen when the use clicks the tray icon. All pidgin wants is that the buddy 
list window be presented to the user as such using gtk_window_present is the 
correct thing for us to be doing. Any policy decisions on what that means for 
pidgin are squarely in the realm of the window manager, desktop environment, 
and user preference. So again, pidgin itself relies on no specific behaviour 
out of gtk_window_present other than that of 'presenting the window to the 
user'.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

  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.
