[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#415789: digikam: Digikam grabs keyboard focus when it shouldn't

[Helge Hafting]

Package: digikam
Version: 2:0.8.2-4
Severity: normal


I launched digikam from an icewm menu. Knowing that it
takes som time to start, I decided to work with another app
in the meantime.

This work was hampered by digikam stealing keyboard focus
_three_ times as it started up.

Now, it is perfectly reasonable for an app to grab focus once as
it starts - the user launced the app so presumably he
wanted to use it!

There is absolutely no excuse for grabbing focus more than once though.
When I took focus away, digikam should know that I want to work
with something else and not stupidly grab focus _again_ just
because it eventually got further in its initialization process.
When I work with something else - I work with something else...

In particular, the splash screen shouldn't grab focus at all, as
there is nothing you can do with it anyway.


Don't get me wrong - it is an indispensable piece of software,
but please don't go the way of commercial programs that
are much worse with their irritating focus-grabbing
