That's in the spirit of what I wrote: you want pidgin there all the time, but as it's a long-running window you don't want it in your ALT +TAB list. The same problem I think exists in update notifier. Even a minimised window will not completely solve the problem. A notification did, but this is the change we are discussing. Now a typical user may enjoy suitable defaults. A more advanced user will configure how to receive system notifications. If they are all in one place, it's easy to do it. If they have the same choices, conventions and defaults of the very common IM paradigm, people will understand them effortlessly.
