           Summary: inactive dialogs hide behind other windows
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin@kde.org
        ReportedBy: phz@cadence.com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

With KDE 3.5.9 using the Cadence application (which uses Qt 4.4.1), whenever a
new dialog is made active, any other dialog is pushed behind all other windows.
 Since our application is multi-window and multi-dialog, this is very annoying
behavior and our customers consider it to be a bug.

This did not occur with earlier versions of KDE (I tested with 3.3.1).

I assume this is a deliberate feature, but it makes it very awkward to work
with multiple dialogs since one has to constantly go to the taskbar to find the
other dialog one is working with, and as soon as that is brought to the front,
the other one is pushed back.  So if one wants to see both (or more) at once,
one is forced to minimize all other windows or rearrange windows and dialogs in
a tiled manner that is very annoying.

Is there any option to turn off this "feature"?  I tried to find one but was
unsuccessful.
