Review request for KDE Base Apps and David Faure.


Changes
-------

Updated patch based on dfaure's feedback. Note that this change requires addition of new API to KParts::PartManager. See https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/108017.


Description
-------

The attached patch is an attempt to fix the bug where opening certain types of documents in a background tab results in the new tab being activated inadvertently.

The issue can be reproduced by simply attempting to open a PDF document using either the MMB or the CTRL+LMB button in Konqueror. If you have a local PDF file simply navigate to the location of the file and click on it using the MMB. Otherwise, see the aforementioned bug report for a site with PDF links in it. If the "Open new tabs in background" option is checked when you clicked on the PDF document, then the PDF document is opened embedded in Konqueror tab in the background. However, this background tab should not be activated when the aforementioned option is enabled. 

Unfortunately, in the currently implementation the background tab will get activated if the part used to handle the resource (PDF file in this case) issues a FocusIn event, for example by calling setFocus. That is because KPart::PartManager installs an event filter on all the KParts it manages, listens for FocusIn events, and invokes KParts::PartManager::setActivatePart.


This addresses bug 306417.

Thanks,
