I don't know how to do what you want, but I think I know what you
mean. If I'm right, perhaps my explanation will help someone else help
you. So here is the situation you seem to be talking about:

1. Two IM-related windows are already open: a buddy list and a
conversation. They are in two different frames.
2. The conversation window is hidden by another window in its frame.
3. When the buddy list window gains focus, you want the conversation
window to become the visible window in its frame.
