Sorry, we *are* the platform. If we extend the desktop shell to ask for 
passwords, that cannot be used in other platforms because there we don't 
control the desktop shell.

AFAIK it depends on whether Kontact/KMail is running or not. If Kontact is not 
running it doesn't have a winId and KWin should stack below and deny focus to 
it given that the window is trying to steal focus.
