Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Hi.

I've got 2 screens:

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen          0 "Screen0" 0 0
        Screen          1 "Screen1" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth      24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Screen1"
        Device          "Card1"
        Monitor         "TV"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth      24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card1"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option      "TVStandard"            "NTSC-M"
        Option      "UseDisplayDevice"      "TV"
        Option      "TVOutFormat"           "COMPOSITE"
        Option      "TVOverScan"            "0.65"
EndSection

The problem is, that any window any time can loose focus. Like this:
1. open kmail on screen :0.1
2. select message
3. press shift+delete
4. confirm
5. kmail lost focus
6. press alt+F2 to open "Run Command" dialog. It appears on screen :0.1 and not :0.0

This happens too many time, not only when runnig kmail, but also when you searching for something (ctrl+F) and you close "Find Text" dialog. It works when I swith to beryl, as a window manager. So I think, this is kwin related feature.

I see a big improvement in 3.5.6 version. CTRL+F is working, no more nonactive window. Thanx

But there are still some situations, where I've got problems. Suppose I've got one konsole and one ICQ chat window in kopete. So there are only 2 windows and chat one is active. When I close it, konsole window is sometimes active, sometimes not.

It looks like dialog doesn't deactivate parent window anymore, but when there are 2 (maybe more) separated windows and I close one, there's a chance that KDE (kwin or whatever) change active screen from :0.0 to :0.1.
