Hmm, just have to take issue with this slightly. If you want to press
a button in a window, it is faster to be able to simply press that
button instead of clicking to focus then clicking again, so 'correct'
is more a matter of preference. The option to pass the click in is
configurable in KDE already of course.

Hmm, why not ? Sounds reasonable, given...

Yes, it sounds even better with the explanation thing.
