Bug Description

Using clean install of raring with all updates. When i get an im in pidgin I get the blue envolope as expected, but if I read the message by alt tabbing to the pidgin conversation window or by using the launcher the blue envolope stays. The only way it goes away is if i access the message by clicking the message indicator and clicking the unread message from there. I did not have this problem in 12.10 with jconti's pidgin-libnotify ppa.

I am having the same problem with the gmail web app notifications in the latest version of 13.04. When the number of unread emails is 0 again, either by clicking the notification or opening the mail manually in the browser the indication stays blue.

Looking at the output of: pidgin -d; I see that when I focus the conversation, I get "REMOVING ATTENTION FOR (...)" so the plugin thinks it is doing the right thing anyway.

I am going to add indicator-messages to this bug, I'm not sure this is a pidgin-libnotify issue. I can reproduce the problem with a simple python app I've used for testing. It works on 12.10 but doesn't remove the attention on 13.04. I'll attach it to the bug as well.

Guess I should have looked at the code immediately. There was a bit of refactoring in libmessaging-menu/messaging-menu.c and it seems the boolean for draws_attention was always set to TRUE mistakenly. Attached a branch that should fix it.
