It is the empathy icon (a sort of green square voice bubble) that alternates with a sort of alert symbol. To me it is a bit irritating as I always get it when I start Empathy because I get messages from the freenode NikServ to tell me that I am identified for my TonyP nickname. I have to click the icon, which brings up the chat window, to stop it flashing. Less irritating is when my brother messages me. Strangely, I don't get any of this on my EEEPC Netbook, but the mail icon does turn blue. Wish I knew why. They both run 11.10 with same Empathy version. Tony
