Ok, so maybe I rephrase this in steps:

a) there are several modes in KDE that are much older than plasma, so they should have precedence over new features (i.e. they should be supported instead of "feature X will be incompatible with mode Y by design, sorry") or if they are in the way, they should be dropped completely

b) I showed a solution which won't change a thing for users who do not use focus follow mouse and that solution would work nicely with focus follow mouse (this is the meaning of word "elegant" I used before)

c) focus follow mouse does not bring the window to the foreground so panel is not covered with window from the background, window in the background still sits in the background

d) I see no benefit of current behaviour (explaining does not help here at all, because with explanation and without explanation is is for me extra strain to put mouse at the 3 pixels slider) -- the point is to make computers easier to handle not to explaining why they are so hard to manage
