[Bug 697911] [NEW] SSL pop up has no window listing in taskbar

[datakid]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

When I start Empathy, there is an SSL cert pop up that has no presence
on the taskbar - it does not appear on the list of windows available to
me. This causes the account to never connect, it just sits and churns
until I wonder why I'm not getting chats.

Partly the problem here is the time taken for this SSL cert pop up to
"pop up" - ie, it takes longer than 1 sec, by which time I've already
alt-tab'd to a more useful window.

The result of not having an entry in the window listing on the taskbar
is:

- can't alt tab to the ssl cert pop up
- ssl pop up disappears behind all other windows.
- must minimise all windows until it's found to click "ok"
- can't use "desktop" button, as that clears the desktop of everything, including the pop up.
- can't click on the empathy window to find the pop up

result: empathy fail.
