Ideally, I think a menu item representing an application -- whether it's in the messaging menu, the sound menu, the clock menu, or anywhere else -- should function the same as a Launcher tile for the application. If the application isn't focused, it should become focused. If it is already focused, it should invoke the same app-specific window switcher as the Launcher does. And if the Launcher's behavior was changed to minimize windows of an already-focused application, these menu items should do the same thing.

If a messaging application is currently on focus, its entry on the messaging menu becomes "dead", with no purpose. It would be interesting if clicking on the item could hide the application, as this is expected behavior (the tray icons for Empathy and Gwibber did that before the Messaging Menu was introduced).
