for the context menu? if so, that would be very non-standard.

should be possible; patches welcome.

on the topic of focus stealing preventing getting in the way, i've noticed 
issues with it over time such as how the gpgagent window never gets focus when 
kmail tries to sign an email.

i'm not sure if this is a settings issue on my side or if focus stealing 
prevention is expecting window handling patterns that are not currently being 
adhered to by applications. if the latter, we must document somewhere exactly 
how to do it "right".

p.s. please keep both mailing lists in the CC; i would have missed Thomas' 
email if Martin hadn't re-replied to both lists. cheers :)
