Re: [orca-list] Pidgin issue with new conversations

[jon orcauser <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Hi

I think the reason for this is that the new conversation is opening up
in a new tab in the current window, rather than a totally new window.
Use control tab to switch between tabs within the same window.

Hope this helps.
