Without a custom plugin or something like that the 'Present' option is likely your best option (though 'Raise' is also a reasonable choice as it will hit different limitations imposed by your desktop environment). If you want every application to be able to steal focus at will then you can look into turning off focus stealing prevention in your desktop environment (though that may or may not be an option that is actually exposed at this point). The desktop environment might even be configurable enough to let you bypass the protections for specific applications which would be best if you only want pidgin to be able to do it; but I doubt most/many environments are that configurable. -Etan _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
