problem with gaim in latest edgy

Hi all, I am running an up to date edgy with orca.  I'm noticing a 
problem when I start gaim.  I start gaim and add my accounts and close 
the account dialog.  At this point gaim seems to minimize to the panel.  
I know that the gaim process is still running but can find no way to 
give it focus.  It is probably still visible but because the panels 
don't work well from the keyboard I am unable to find it.  Is anyone 
else running edgy to confirm this?  I can find no way to make gaim come 
up with focus now.
thanks
Mike
