Mouse position and focus are not necessarily related, but I know what you 
mean :-)

Hmm, maybe things have changed in KDE3 from KDE2. I'm not sure why the popup 
would appear when you're typing; I thought it only appeared if you had just 
selected something. Either way, I also thought that most such popups were now 
using the KPassivePopup (sp?) code and didn't get focus at all, unless 
clicked on (as, I now understand, Glen wanted).

Having the popup get focus has benefits for keyboard users, in that they can 
select "Open with Konqueror", for example, with a single keystroke. You can 
also, of course, cancel the popup by the same method, i.e. just type a 'c'. 
Not giving the popup focus would negate this. Probably best if configurable 
:-)

I personally (in KDE2) just set the popup timeout for 2 seconds. It doesn't 
become very annoying then when I don't want it. If it goes away too fast, a 
quick Ctrl+Alt+R gets it back again.

I'll have to check things out when I get around to compiling the latest CVS 
again.

Cheers,
Sean
