focus follow mouse with no autoraise and clickToRaise.

I can completely reproduce it :

1) open a konsole window
2) maximize it
3) move the mouse to the right-bottom corner of the konsole window
4) press alt-f2
5) wait and see how the focus changes from the minicli to the konsole
   window after a while.
