Description Grósz Dániel 2009-02-20 20:34:35 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

KWin has the window-specific option of preventing focus stealing by the subject window. I propose to add its counterpart: preventing focus stealing from the subject window by any other window.

It would be useful e. g. for password windows so that if an other window pops up while you are typing your password (a chat window in the worst case) you don't end up typing it into a other window where it is visible.

From the focus-preventing policy of the active window and the popup window the more strict should be used (i. e. prevent focus stealing if either the new window has preventing focus stealing by it enabled or the currently active window has preventing focus stealing from it enabled).

Add rule to protect the focus on a window

This allows to pin the focus on certain window as well
as to more easily give it away on others (typically launchers)
