[Xmonad] I don't notice when someone talks to me via Gaim

I use Gaim for instant messaging. I use guifications so that I am
notified when someone sends me a message. But this is not enough for
me.
I think what I want is this:
- All Gaim windows go to a specific workspace.
- Whenever someone talks to me via Gaim, then I get a notification
about this that is unobtrusive but not transient.
I am requesting the first one because sometimes I lose a chat window (in
the sense of forgetting where it is). That is, I go to the buddy list,
double click on a contact and nothing happens. That's because the chat
window for that contact is already open. But I don't know where the
chat window is. In one case, it was one of five windows in a "full"
layout workspace.
For the second one, I am not sure what to do. Perhaps the workspace
name in the workspace list should flash? Or I should get an indicator
in the status bar that a Gaim message is waiting for me?
