When I click on my configured OpenVPN connection in NetworkManager it pops up a dialog to enter the password ( as I have "Ask For Password Every Time" configured ; however it doesn't get focus. I am running Plasma 5.9.4 on Fedora 25. p.s. not sure of the correct component re focusing versus networkmanager ; apologies if this is the wrong one.
The dialog which opens need to have proper hints and timestamps to ensure that KWin grants focus.
I ran xwininfo on the popup and got: xwininfo: Please select the window about which you would like information by clicking the mouse in that window. xwininfo: Window id: 0x800019 "VPN secrets (openvpn) — KDE Daemon" Root window id: 0xd7 (the root window) (has no name) Parent window id: 0x26ad73f (has no name) 0 children.

Running kdialog -password foo (which does pop up a window with the correct focus) gives xwininfo of xwininfo: Please select the window about which you would like information by clicking the mouse in that window. xwininfo: Window id: 0x5200012 "KDialog" Root window id: 0xd7 (the root window) (has no name) Parent window id: 0x26af28f (has no name) 0 children.

Can you test this patch https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/130109/ and check if it works for you?
Am I right in thinking I would need to recompile https://github.com/KDE/plasma-nm/tree/v5.9.4 ?
Yes, recompiling that plasma-nm is enough to test the patch.
Ok after checking out that code and installing an awful lot of build dependencies :-) I first tried without the diff (to see if the Fedora build was doing something strange) but could still reproduce the problem. I have just now tried with the diff and it seems to be working! Thanks.
Could this patch be applied to the 5.9.x series? I can enter an issue into Fedora upstream.
I can backport that patch to Fedora, I just wasn't able to verify that it fixes this problem, let me test it again.
