KDE Window Focus Problem

In KDE, when I'm focused on a window in foreground and I click on the contents of a window in the background the focus of the window changes, but the window that was in the foreground does not go behind the window that I just clicked on.

In that picture, I was focused on the Pidgin window and I clicked on this text box of Firefox and the Pidgin window in the foreground.

The only way to place that window in the background is to click the title bar on top of Firefox, then it behaves normally.  By the way, I'm running KDE3.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: KDE Window Focus Problem

It's been quite some time since I've used KDE, but isn't there some kind of "raise on focus" setting that would raise newly focused windows? I'm certain this setting exists for focus-follows-mouse but I don't remember if it applies to click-to-focus.

Re: KDE Window Focus Problem

Thanks for the idea, I found an area with settings like that and it seemed to be setup right so I clicked apply and now it works.  Weird.  Maybe it was because I installed Compiz Fusion, it overrided that setting or something.
