According to 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/desktop-notification-area.html.en
In reference to animation in the Notification Area, it says, "Do not rely on 
blinking or animation as a means of alerting the user to any particular event." 
 I too believe that ONLY a small "blinking" icon in the Notification Area on 
the Gnome Panel is unexpected/wrong behavior.  In fact, when trying to use the 
Google Talk video feature, I got a ringing sound but no obvious means to answer 
the call when a contact called me, even though the chat window and contact list 
were visible and my status was set to "available".  The "accept call" dialog 
window appeared only after clicking the icon on the Notification Area.

This behavior is like trying to answer a phone call when your phone is
hidden somewhere in your room.  The default behavior should be to pop up
a new message tab, window, or dialog box when a contact first messages
you or requests your immediate attention with something like a call.
