Public bug reported:

Since upgrading to 11.10, I've noticed that Empathy is no longer
notifying me when a new chat message is received.  The OSD notification
still shows up.  However, if I'm in a different window the envelope icon
in the tray does not indicate I have "missed" any messages (in 11.04, it
use to turn blue if I was in a different window when a new chat message
arrived).

I think I've seen the icon turn blue if the missed message was the first
chat message of the session.

If this new behaviour is not a bug, it is certainly a giant usability
step backwards.
