is it possible to turn off Instant Messages from popping up in Trillian?

[Phokus]

I was playing battlefield 2 yesterday when i was crashed out of the game because someone IM'd me (i'm using trillian). I was looking for a way to not have the chat window pop up whenever someone IM's me

Yeah. I use Trillian 0.74 and I can set all incoming msgs to appear in the tray area and not actually pop-up a window which seem to boot you out of games. (you can still hear a sound if you want, to let you know that someone messaged you.)

But now that I am looking for it, I can't seem to find the option. I've checked 4 times now. I know it's a bit non-intuitive, so I'll keep looking.


edit: Ah, ok. Under "Preferences -> General -> Windows -> Initial" there is an option that says "Hide the window and notify me via systray." This makes Trillian not switch to the desktop when I get a msg and am in a game. Hope it helps you.
