Description Tom Wesley 2003-09-25 23:05:17 UTC

Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 20030904 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.1-r1, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-gentoo-r6

Whilst typing in another window the desktop sometimes seems to share the focus with the active window.  For example, typing a message in kopete seems to change the current desktop icon selection and hitting return to send the message launches the last selected icon.  This may be a kopete bug, feel free to reassign, but it seems to me that the desktop shares keyboard focus when it shouldnt.

That fix didn't make it into 3.1.4, tell the gentoo maintainer

I'm also seeing this behavior with 3.1.4 Slackware build.
