Hi,
I think I know the solution for your problem with gaim. You have to go in the settings and than to the plugins. There should be one which should be called “notification”? I don’t know the exact name because I have the german version. But nether the less if you you look at the settings of that plugins there should be an area where you can say when it should stop blinking. I just activated everything there and don’t have that problem anymore.

Greetings
Moritz

I’m experiencing the same thing with Gaim, and I consider it really annoying, _and_ a bug. I disabled it in the way Moritz said, but it should be off on default nevertheless.

The gaim blinking sounds like a libwnck bug, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317541 in particular. Try switching workspaces and switching back.

Also, I can't tell from your post whether it was just the case that you didn't want it to blink at all (i.e. because the window was already on top or something) or whether you were just annoyed that it didn't shut itself off when you activated the task.
