GNOME "Urgent" Hint


Does anyone else have a problem with the "urgent" hint (the hint that makes the taskbar blink for example when you get a new instant message in Gaim/Pidgin) where it will just stop working? I have had this happen in Slackware 10.* and 11, Fedora 5 and 6, and RHEL 4. In Pidgin, as well as Gaim, I have made sure countless times that the Message Notification plugin option is selected but it still won't blink. Is there anything I can do to get this working again? Maybe a setting I can reset in gconf-editor? Thanks for any help.

Is it possibly a problem that the version of GNOME where is issue is arising is 2.8.0?

what it does is make the gaim icon blink in the system tray, not on the taskbar
