Description Will Stephenson 2009-01-28 10:33:32 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Steps to reproduce: (Click to focus policy) 
1) Focus something you can type on
2) Middle click the title bar of the focused window (or assign Lower Window to a keyboard shortcut).  
   (Window goes to the bottom of the z-order)
3) Keep typing, observe the bottom window retains focus.  

Background: I was trying to decrement IceWM's userbase by one by pointing out that KWin does support Alt-Esc to Lower (like apparently Windows does, maybe we could have that global shortcut by default?) and the OP noticed this bug.
