[gaim-migrate @ 15712] SF Patch #1439221 from Shawn Outman "The fix that allowed the message window to blink with the first message in the conversation also allowed it to blink with system messages, including those from the Buddy State Notification plugin. This patch modifies winprefs to not flash for system messages, which is how it is in 1.5 and 2.0beta1 & 2. (The first message in the conversation still causes it to blink, however)." committer: Tailor Script <tailor@pidgin.im>
