No, it's not.

Okay, nitpickig aside. Yes gaim isn't specifically a Gnome app. Yes it's
just written with GTK. But to quote the gaim website "Gaim integrates
well with GNOME 2 and KDE 3.1's system tray, as well as Windows's own
system tray. This allows you to work with Gaim without requiring the
buddy list window to be up at all times." This was the thrust of my
comment. We should be looking at making gaim the best experience on any
desktop. Neither Gnome, KDE or Windows have a useful way to handle popup
requesters, at least Gnome has addressed the accidental dismissing of
requesters by typing.

Look I don't want to be diverted by strawman arguments. My original post
was about an usability issue that others have supported. So can we keep
on topic?
