Version: 3.3.2 (using KDE 3.3.2, (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8 Repeatable scenario: - I click some URL in kmail email - the link leads to some page which require HTTP authorization - temporary dialog 'Postęp ładowania' (Loading progress?) show up showing the URL and 0% progress - and I can wait as long as I like, nothing changes - this effect is caused by the fact that konqueror waits for username and password - but the window prompting for them is somewhere below existing windows (I usually find it finally on taskbar)! Please do sth to force this window to be always on top.
I had this too, and it's IMHO a kwin issue (with focus stealing prevention). Unless the kwin developer(s) tell me to set some flags on the dialog, in which case I'll do that of course :)
Please provide some URL that can be used to reproduce the problem.
I observe this problem using intranet application in my organization, so it is not usable for your reproduction. Nevertheless it seems to me that the following things can be important here: - the service uses HTTP authentication, - service is accessed using SSL (https://...) - I work in 'focus follow mouse' mode (the window over which the mouse pointer is placed gets keyboard input but is not moved to the top)
Two extra remarks: - in bug 104671 I suggest totally alternative solution for the problem of HTTP authentication queries - I do not remember details now but the problem of 'hidden somewhere modal window' happens also in other applications (in fact I got used to the fact that if some KDE application stops being responsive I should go over all virtual desktops searching for some dialog box hidden in the taskbar)

Re #2: See my original comment in Bug 96919: To reproduce, try to create a mail with the following link to the local SWAT parametrization (if you have installed it). http://localhost:901
