Thanks for your answer, but I already tried this without any success. I tried for example kstart --type override xvkbd kstart --type Override --keepabove xvkbd kstart --keepabove --type Override xvkbd and all other possible combinations of options kstart allows for, all to no avail. Besides, if I'm using the --type option, --keepabove doesn't have any effect. It must be somehow possible to give windows a higher priority than an active fullscreen window. If I press Alt+F2, the "run application" window appears in front of the application running fullscreen (but it gets the focus, and the kicker can be seen). And sometimes message or yellow quickinfo boxes started by applications running behind the fullscreen window are raised above the fullscreen window (so technically it's possible) Maybe there is some way to lower the priority of the fullscreen window, so that it is still above the kicker, but behind xvkbd? I've been searching the web for days, but have no idea, except diving deep into low level kde code.
