[Bug 460755] [NEW] Emapathy won't Pop Up Incoming Chats in a New Window

[Lonnie]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Please provide a setting that will allow Empathy to pop up a New Window
for each incoming that gets initiated.

I don't allows like this preference (when I'm working for example), but
I have trouble noticing instant messages; simply putting them minimized
on my task bar is not enough for me to immediately notice that someone
is trying to chat with me. I'd like it to pop right up in my face.

Sure, the Ubuntu Notification System does indeed notify me conspicuously
enough, but in times that I'm away from my computer, and then come back,
the instant message is only minimized on my task bar, so I don't notice
it right away when I come back to my computer, and I would like it to be
more apparent some how.

Last, I wish I could click on Notifications and cause the corresponding
chat window come up! Click on notifications does nothing. I wish we had
"smart notifications" that had options to click on.
