Summary: Win32 port : Hijacking Focus

Initial Comment:
Hi,

   This might/might not be considered a bug depending
on how you look at it. Win32 Gaim has this really
annoying habit of always stealing window focus and
starting maximised. This drives me really batty :S

e.g.

-Gaim itself has no option of starting minimised

-Gaim connections always involve a pop-up - network
problems always lead to 2-3 popups - ICQ connect
windows, a/c connecting windows and so on..

-Right clicking taskbar icon brings up menu, but can't
be clicked out of, unless one of the options are chosen
or one of the submenus entered..

Besides this, I am really enjoying the program. Thank
you for all your work :)

Cheers
-K
p.s this is winxp sp2 running Gaim 1.1.0

You could try installing the extprefs plugin which exposes 
some hidden preferences. One of these enables you to hide 
the buddylist on sign on.

As for the context menus not disappearing unless you click on 
them, thats a GTK+ thing I believe.

2)this will be improved in 2.0.0 when that is released.

3)this is a gtk bug.
