The Transparency plugin defaults to making the buddy list transparent all the time.  Every time I run Pidgin I have to go into preferences and reset the plugin to "remove buddy list transparency on focus".  Also, when I receive an IM, the window doesn't always flash.  Other times, it won't stop flashing even when I've brought up the conversation window and responded.  How is it that Pidgen seems to have more annoying bugs than Gaim had?
