If for some reason the connection to GroupWise, IRC or RocketChat has to be=
 (re)stablished, pidgin will just open a maximized, non-foreground window o=
ver all other open windows. This window may sometimes still have the keyboa=
rd focus, so test one is about to type ends up in the wrong window.

Is there a knob that will make sure all new tabs will under all circumstanc=
es be opened minimized, unless of course pidgin is currently the active app=
lication?
If such code exists, where is it so that I could add some debug for further=
 analysis?

In the settings I see something like 'Hide new conversations: always', 'con=
versations in tabs', and 'new conversations in last opened window'. My inte=
rpretation of the first knob is that it would exactly do that, or does it r=
eally just apply to private conversations from another person instead of al=
so auto-joined channels?

This is pidgin revision 39304 on XFCE.
