Workarounds to your problem not the game's problem. There doesn't need to be a solution because it's not actually an issue.

The hostility really isn't needed here.

I very much appreciate how Rift flashes the taskbar icon when something happens in the game and you're not tabbed into it - such as entering combat, getting a party invite or a whisper, the dungeon queue popping, etc. It's a very simple thing and quite useful.
