I just sat down with a co-worker this morning and did some testing 
between 2.5.1 and 2.5.2, both of them using GTK+ 2.12.12, all plug-ins 
disabled, and "Blink on New Message" checked in systray.  Looks like the 
"Hide new IM conversations" setting in Preferences in 2.5.2 doesn't 
work.  Well, the "Never" setting works fine, but Always and When Away 
don't seem to work.

Uninstalling 2.5.2 and installing 2.5.1 with no other changes made the 
setting work as it should again.  Time to file a bug report I think.
