Summary:                    gaim 'raise on event' hint steals focus
Description: 
When the Gaim option 'Raise On Events' is enabled, any such occurence
steals the focus from the current widget and puts it in the gaim input.
The desired behaviour is to have the window raised to the top pane but not
actually steal focus from the current application. This occurs since Gaim
0.81 (so it clearly stems from a code change of theirs) but I believe it
is the window manager's responsibility to control the focus appropriately.
Thus, either an option to specify the desired behavior or a default to
ignore focus requests in such a situation should be added.
