Windows 8: "Separate conversation tabs into different windows" breaks previews

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using Pidgin on Windows 8, when you click on the Taskbar Icon, you see a 
preview of each of the Pidgin windows that are open, including chat windows and 
the buddy list. When the Plugin is activated including the option mentioned in 
the title, the Buddy List preview is still shown - however, the chat window 
previews are replaced by an empty field.

I know this Plugin is for Windows 7, but it would be great to make it nice for 
Windows 8 as well. So as an enhancement, it would be great to not only list 
every conversation tab with an empty field, but perhaps somehow render each of 
the tabs' contents into the preview windows. So you can get a peek at what is 
going on even before switching to the window.

If you enable the 'Show tab thumbnail/aero peek' setting, you should see the 
preview

For me, that option just replaces the empty window with the (very pixelated :P) 
status icon of the contact/chat.
