--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
If it was system-modal, it would annoy the heck out of people. The GNOME auth
dialog being system-modal is a frequently complained-about issue.

We can make it app-model though — and in fact, it's already supposed to be. It
seems the problem here is that it's not. Perhaps the window isn't marked as
having a transient parent correctly.

The window does appear in thew Task Manager for me, though. …Which is exactly
what I would expect for a window not marked as being transient with a parent
window. If it was transient with a parent window, it would be correctly
app-model and not have an entry in the Task Manager.

It seems that the original trigger of your issue is using focus-follows-mouse.
Windows unexpectedly losing focus is a lot harder when using the default
settings.
