Comment 29 for bug 206547

If the windows are spawning behind other windows, how is it an interference? They're not disrupting work flow as focus isn't being stolen and they're not suddenly covering up any windows that are at the front.

I've never found fault with the way that Pidgin and emesene deal with conversation windows spawning. The situation is, is that many people are removing Empathy due to the fact that they're missing the notification about a conversation, and they have their main contact window closed. I have myself missed many conversations as they were waiting for me to open them from the main window - not ideal. This was one of the many reasons why I dismissed Empathy.
