Focus stealing

Description:

I don't know how this can be implemented (and if this can be implemented), but nothing would have to steal the focus to a window that ask one password.

What happen if while you insert your root password the window of your browser steal the focus, and you post this password, for example, in a forum?

Simply, I think it's a security issue.

I suppose it would be possible to use a special kind of window to attain this effect.. But actully it would just be simpler if programmers used the "stay above" feature when they do the programming...
Nice idea though

Sometimes it happens to me that I'm writing my MSN password in Kopete and another window comes out (for example, asking you to change your nick in a IRC channel) and steals the focus. Then I write part of my password in clear text as my nick in a IRC channel!!!!!!
A password window should never ever loose focus, no matter what happens.

There's an option called "Focus stealing prevention" in KWin config. Set it to maximum, and no app will be able to steal the focus.

It is not the size of the hammer that counts. It's how you wield it.

and the 'intelligent' setting gives very nice results too - it doesn't allow every annoying app to come up as long as you're using the curent one (eg as long as you are typing, no app is allowed to take focus). so it's already available.
