Hi,

If you launched it from the KDE menu, then it would.  This is because 
you just changed focus from Konsole to KDE itself, thereby giving KDE 
control over what application to focus -- which is consistent with my 
original premise.  Unless between the time you launched Mozilla from 
KDE's menu/icon to the time the browser appeared you had refocused back 
onto the Konsole window to continue typing.  At which point you 
certainly do NOT want Mozilla to grab focus, right ...?

Exactly why I mentioned, 'for me' in the original post.  Also exactly 
why I asked, 'how do I go about changing this?'  (Hence the submission 
to the KDE-DEV list and not as a bug report.)

Thanks, again!
