           Summary: Closing a composer window or sending makes the main
                    window grab the focus
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.3
          Platform: Debian unstable
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: michael at schuerig.de


Version:           1.13.3 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When I write a message and send it or just close the composer window, this
makes the main window grab the focus even if there are other windows in front
of it.

When writing a message, I often refer to web pages or other documents. Then,
after I have sent the message, I close the documents I no longer need. Sending
closes the composer window and the document window directly behind it becomes
the front window. As I no longer need that document, I habitually press Ctrl-Q
with the intention of closing it. -- Contrary to my intention, KMail, whose
main window has grabbed the focus, receives the keypress and quits.

I know about this (mis)behavior. I know that there's a difference between front
window and focussed window. Even my window title bar is styled to make this
distinction very obvious. It doesn't help. Knowing about the trap doesn't save
me from falling into it again and again.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Leave the focus alone and let KWin pass the focus to the front window.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-5-amd64
