           Summary: Focus stealing by Matlab in kde 4.1.2
           Product: unknown
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: praedor at yahoo.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

This is fairly serious as it prevents me from being able to do anything that
involves typing (email, forums, irc, documents, CLI).  I am running Mandriva
2009.0, KDE 4.1.2 with Matlab R2008a, version 7.6.0.324 with
java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.06-2mdv2009.0.rpm installed.  When analyzing data with
matlab (takes hours) it repeatedly steals keyboard focus so that it is
impossible to do any other work while the analysis is running.  The
mouse/pointer works OK but keyboard focus is stolen no matter what focus
stealing policies I try.  I have tried very strict protection, default, tried
to create policies specific for matlab, changed the settings to that it is
mouse-click dependent, etc.  NOTHING works to prevent matlab (the main window)
from stealing keyboard focus.
     I ran this version of matlab in Mandriva 2008.1, kde 3.4.5 as well and had
no focus issues whatsoever.  This behavior is strictly associated with kde
4.1.2.
