Personally, I use Snarl ( http://snarl.fullphat.net/ ) with the
PidginSnarl ( http://tlhan-ghun.de/Projects/PidginSnarl/ ) plugin.
Snarl has numerous options for notifying you with configurable
alternatives when you are "away" or "busy". For example, I have Snarl
set up to send notifications to my phone when I'm away from the
computer. Busy mode can be automatically set whenever you lock the
screen or whenever a full screen application has focus.

I need some more emphatic notifications of new messages in a minimized or

ignored by deliberate decision to ignore it.
I've searched the mailing list, pidgin.im wiki, and help files, and haven't
found anything that does this.
I already have the "Message Notification" plugin enabled, with "Raise
conversation window" and "Present conversation window" checked. It doesn't
do what those words seem to say. I also have "New messages" checked on the
"Libnotify popups" plugin. New messages arrive in existing chats, new chats
start from people desperately trying to get my attention, but the Pidgin
window stays hidden behind my web browser.
I'm running Pidgin 2.10.6 on Windows 7.
A more intrusive notification plugin is something that could certainly
be written, but I'm not aware of one offhand.
I guess I don't tend to miss IMs, and I haven't personally seen the
need for such a thing.
With the Message Notification plugin set to Flash the window, and the
notification removal set to "Remove when conversation window receives
click", the window will flash a few times and then remain highlighted
until I acknowledge it.
