GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 312407
Only blink the contact list background when going online/offline

The background of contacts in the contact list change background color when the presence changes. This can be pretty distracting when you have a few people in the list. I suggest that the background change only occurs when people go online or offline. (This bug is also known as the american xmas tree bug)
I have done some more work to try and fix this. From the testing I did, my initial implementation did not cover every case. This latest update in CVS seems to fix every case I could test. Let me know if you still have problems.
