It's one of that *stupid* EWMH (Extended Window Manager Hints) features that allows applications override window management policy set up by the user. It allows *applications* to switch desks and pages. This is useful for third party pagers, but gaim misuses it for its own purposes. It would be best if the gaim developers removed this mis-feature. There isn't even a way to disable it selectively in the window manager because the request isn't tied to a window. All I can do is write a command that disables these messages completely, i.e. for *all* applications. Would you contact the gaim developers and ask them to remove this again?
