Relax, take a breath, I am not trying to impose anything on you 
personally. :)

All I want is to be able to configure the IM so that notifications are 
more visible. It should not be the only notification method, it's okay 
even if it's not the default method. Anyone else who wants a more 
discreet notification method should be able to use it.

Finally, you are misinformed, despite your claimed experience with IM 
software. I am not the strange exception, there are plenty of bug 
reports opened with Empathy in Gnome Bugzilla precisely because of the 
broken notification methods. Currently the new notification-related 
reports are marked duplicates to the original report back in June 2009.
