--- Comment #29 from subdiff <subdiff at gmail.com> ---
This manual adjustment of window rules can only be reagarded as a temporary
solution to the problem. The "Open Terminal" function should work as intended
from the start.

Let me restate the problem, as it still appeares in Plasma 5.6:
1) Open Konsole
2) Shift focus to Dolphin
3) Press in Dolphin "Open Terminal" in Toolbar or hit Shift+F4
4) New Konsole window stays in background (with multiple windows open: directly
one layer under Dolphin)

It's not happening when:
* Skipping Step (2) above
* In (3) "Open Terminal here" via Dolphin context menu -> Actions
* Setting focus policy to None as explained above

Cause: KWin focus stealing prevention, because Konsole uses same process for
new windows

Possible fixes (probably not the best of the best):
* Use same method to open new window as in the context menu action
* Use one process per window in Konsole (as Dolphin does for example)
