Description Harald Judt 2007-08-07 13:50:47 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

Whenever KOrganizer is started and the main window appears, it steals the focus. As I'm using fluxbox, this messes up functionality like remembering the workspace for the app to appear on. Very annoying. No other KDE application I've run shows this behaviour, so this is definitely a KOrganizer problem. KOrganizer's main window certainly should not be that intrusive.

Please see fluxbox bug 1753256
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1753256&group_id=35398&atid=413960
for a full description and a fluxbox developer's response.

On kde bug tracker, there is also a similar issue concerning reminders which has been solved:

18 years later....

I'm assuming this has been handled a long, long time ago.

if it still happens with a modern version (like KOrganizer v6.4 or higher) feel free to reopen
