Making programs have focus once selected

[DoYouKubuntu]

Well I am now

And what were the results? (System wide or user contained issue)

Oh, the same... System wide.

That suggests a bug to me, but it could be tricky to pinpoint it out (especially if the behavior is not consistent), I'll throw in some things to try:

1. try running 'qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation | grep -i focus' to see if kwin actually respects your focus settings
2. try monitoring your window properties with xprop (see 'man xprop' for details, 'man -spy' could be useful)
3. try enabling all kwin debug messages in 'kdebugdialog' and restart kwin from konsole 'kwin --replace'
4. try temporarily disabling desktop effects to see if the issue depends on desktop effects

Thanks for the suggestions, kubicle. I'll give them a try as desire and energy permit!
