I wonder if the original poster is confusing KDE with kwm? If it's a
property of kwm, he could use some less irritating <flamebait> and
ugly </flamebait> window manager.

Sawmill (which may or may not be KDE compliant) has a lot of nifty
features in this respect; for instance, newly created windows need not
get the focus.

[Also, you can ignore stacking requests on certain subsets of windows
- so bloody Netscape can't bring itself to the front every time you
look at it.]
