Follow the menu sequence: Jabber… Preferences… Alerts tab. You’ll see that selecting ‘Auto-popup new messages’ brings new messages and chat windows directly to the front when this is checked (and ‘grabs control of your mouse’, which you may not want), whereas leaving it unchecked yields a more subtle alert (the tab is highlighted in red but remains in the background). Unchecking it should solve your problem.
