Since upgrading my Kubuntu Karmic to Lucid, I have this bug too in a very noticable way: with Firefox. When I click the Firefox icon in my Quicklaunch, or when I press my keybinding that runs command 'firefox', the new Firefox window opens under other open windows. My Kubuntu upgrade included a manual 'rm -rf ~/.kde' followed by re-applying some settings (via the System Settings GUI). Amongst others: "Focus follows mouse", "Focus stealing prevention = Low". -- It was difficult for me to find this bug report, so here are some seed phrases to help other people find it: Firefox opens under other windows Firefox new window does not open on top Firefox is below other windows

"works for me" - trunk or 4.4? (and what FF)
Kubuntu Lucid "out of the box": KDE 4.4.2, Firefox 3.6.3. New discovery: I can not reproduce the bug when I set "Focus stealing prevention" = None.
We probably need smarter focus stealing prevention. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 110543 ***
