Actually, Qualcomm refers to the inability to do anything BUT fling
new windows in front of the user's frontmost application as a bug in
Mac OS X. It's probably not Fire's fault.

I do. Maybe I'm unusual (though I suspect not), but I don't leave
windows open all day for everyone I chat with. I close inactive
windows, and they reopen when a new conversation starts, whether I
initiate it or the other party does.
I, too, find it frustrating that a newly opened message window
essentially intercepts whatever I was typing in a previously open
window. This is VERY frustrating (and potentially very damaging) when
I finish typing a sentence and hit return, sending something to the
new window that was not intended for that person.
Making Fire open new windows behind the frontmost window (staggered,
of course, so they're not entirely hidden) would be a VERY welcome
improvement to the UI.
