 Qt-copy patch #0009 helps KWin to find out which dialogs belong to which 
apps, when the app developer was lazy to specify the dialog parent. I 
actually cannot reproduce the described problem (maybe I just can't find the 
right dialog) - here dialogs for Kicker are kept above it (and as Kicker is 
usually kept above apps, this means it's also above all apps - actually some 
people don't like this #63223), and clicking on Kicker results in the dialog 
being activated instead.
