Comment 45 for bug 206547

I respond to most of my chats an average of 20-30 minutes late since I started using Empathy in 10.04. This is unacceptable. There shouldn't even be a debate about whether or not to include an option for this. Clearly people want it both ways, so make it work both ways. I have 5 monitors on my Ubuntu box at work and screen space is not an issue, so auto-raising the chat is preferred. Some people need chats to be very intrusive as they may need to address something urgent, as is the case for me at work. Can the people who disagree with having this feature explain to me how they are affected in any way by the addition of this option? Don't like it? Don't use it. It is as simple as that.
