I've noticed this as well, and it's quite annoying.  Do you have xfwm4's
focus stealing prevention enabled?  (You can check in the WM Tweaks
settings panel.)  That could be the cause of the problem.  I know I do,
but I haven't tried disabling it to see if the problem goes away.

It gives focus for me if I don't already have a window open (i.e.,
double clicking someone in the list opens a new conversation window),
but not if I already have a convo window open.  Though I was pretty sure
the window got raised to the top of the stack; it just didn't get focused.
