btw, besides the point of the preferences not working, I would be
satisfied with ANY of the following when I receive an IM:

a. chat window pops up and steals focus (lots of people don't like this,
which is understandable)

b. small NON-HIDDEN blinking icon somewhere (some people don't like
this, which seems debatable)

c. small NON-HIDDEN non-blinking icon somewhere that merely changes
color -- even that's easier to notice than something that requires me to
keep compulsively checking with my mouse (how can anyone seriously be
against this?)

Yet somehow, the only scenario I am able to get is:

d. small hidden icon

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  On up-to-date hardy amd64, when I receive a message, the tray icon
  start blinking but the message is not shown. I have to click the tray
  icon to see it on a new window (or an open window, depending on my
  confs). This is very annoying, specially if my panel containing the
  tray is set to autohide. There should be an option to open messages
  automatically and/or a better visual message notification (like
  pidgin's guifications).
