Still, not even your algorithm would be perfect: pinentry window and 
KMail. It's actually a "KMail window", but it comes from a different 
program. So it never gets focus either.

So, if I am in konsole and I start an app, it won't get focused? But 
that's exactly what I wanted when I started the app...

This is just to illustrate that "one size fits all" adage doesn't apply. 
What's best for you isn't what everyone wants.
