Right, that would be crazy.

Since that wouldn't work with upgrades, stracciatella, and other
window managers, maybe we should keep the current behaviour of not
showing MI all the time when pidgin is running (which did a while
ago), but instead just show it when actual messages are available?
With jaunty du jour I actually don't have that redundancy any more, so
this became a lot less urgent.
