The problem, as far as I've understood, is this: Before 1.23 an LMB click
did only hide/unhide the window. The patch raises and activates the window
if it isn't active, and only hides active windows. Now, with "Focus (Strictly)
Under Mouse" the window can =never= be active, as soon as I moved the mouse
to the systray. So it will =always= only be raised and activated, and never
hidden.
  The only solution (apart from reverting) would IMHO be to change line 130
to something like this:

   if ( visible && !pw->isActiveWindow() && !underMousePolicy() )
     ...

where underMousePolicy would have to be written first. Unfortunately, I
couldn't find out how to query the focus policy (apart from asking kwinrc).

Well, at least for kscd, RMB clicking is already used for the context menu.
But I remember that triggering the "Minimize" menu entry in the context menu
made unhiding work =once=. After that it refused to work again.
