[Bug 206547] Re: Open (but do not raise) new conversation windows automatically

[rg]

These empathy options don't seem to have any effect for me at all.
Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome Shell 3.2.1, Empathy 3.2.0.1. "Open chats in
separate windows" is checked, "Display incoming events in the
notification area" is not checked. Contacts window is open but not
focused. Somebody IMs me and the ONLY indication I get is the popup
message at center bottom of the screen for a few seconds. If I'm not
looking at the screen just then there is NO visible indication of a new
message. The chat icon thingie in the upper right is grey as ever, there
is no chat window opened. Only way I know of a new message is if I
happen to put my mouse in the lower right corner to see the notification
bar.

I've tried it with "Enable Bubble Notifications" checked or unchecked.
I've restarted gnome, I've rebooted the computer. Nothing I do changes
the behavior as just described. What could I be missing??

(I'm having to use Pidgin because it does pop up chat windows for me.
But even with pidgin running and empathy not running I still get hidden
notifications in the hidden lower right bar, but they pile up forever
cause I never have a reason to click them. So I'd LIKE to just use
empathy, but not if I'm going to keep missing messages completely)
