Yes, that certainly helps with Gaim in Xfce 4.4.0 on the Gentoo system.
Unfortunately it doesn't on the RC2 version included with Debian Etch
which will become Debian stable (which is no biggie for me as I will
update Xfce in time to the latest stable version anyway with a
third-party repository or from sources).

However, I recall enabling focus stealing prevention out of curiosity
and then disabling it because of some unwanted side effects, something
to do with pop-ups, I think... I'll let you know of any further irks as
soon as I get back to work and get to use the new settings for a longer
period of time.

Olivier, thank you so much for the tips,
