Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux To reproduce do - start Kile - start Inkscape - in Inkscape select file-->save as - while the file dialog is open, pres Alt-Tab to switch to Kile - now try to switch back to Inkscape by pressing Alt-Tab. It does not work. - click the inkscape label on Kicker with the mouse. It works.
Inkscape's Save dialog specifies the skip_taskbar flag, which I consider wrong. That triggers bug #106818. As a workaround, you can make KWin force the flag to be off for this dialog: Alt+F3/Advanced/Window-specific settings/ , find the Skip taskbar setting, enable it, set to Force and uncheck the checkbox. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 106818 ***
