Another problem that really bothers me is that I frequently get windows brought up behind other windows. \
For example, I was just deleting a profile in Ekos. It didn't delete it and was mystified. However, I \
later found an alert behind the Ekos windows asking "Are you sure you want to delete the profile?". Why \
did this not display on top?
Another example is that the Ekos window is always floating above the KStars window. Ideally, the two \
windows should be independent of each other and you should be able to toggle between them. Is there some \
hack to make this possible?
