Oward-

1. Log out of KDE
2. Log back in
3. Don't choose any special options about focus or top or bottom - just use 
KDE

For me, KDE always behaves normally. New windows open on top, any other window 
that I click on comes to the top.

The one setting that you might want to look at is Focus Stealing Prevention. I 
have mine set to Low.

In Control Centre / Desktop / Window behavior make sure you have
Focus Policy = Click to Focus
Click raise active window = True

These are the default settings and KDE works fine with the defaults.
