Since upgrading my Kubuntu Karmic to Lucid, I have this bug too in a very noticable way: with Firefox.

When I click the Firefox icon in my Quicklaunch, or when I press my keybinding that runs command 'firefox', the new Firefox window opens under other open windows.

My Kubuntu upgrade included a manual 'rm -rf ~/.kde' followed by re-applying some settings (via the System Settings GUI). Amongst others: "Focus follows mouse", "Focus stealing prevention = Low".

It was difficult for me to find this bug report, so here are some seed phrases to help other people find it:
  Firefox opens under other windows
  Firefox new window does not open on top
  Firefox is below other windows

"works for me" - trunk or 4.4? (and what FF)
Comment 4 langstr 2010-05-04 10:23:24 UTC
Kubuntu Lucid "out of the box": KDE 4.4.2, Firefox 3.6.3.

New discovery: I can not reproduce the bug when I set "Focus stealing prevention" = None.

We probably need smarter focus stealing prevention.
