Summary: virt-manager appears under all open windows, making it appear not to have started

Description Forgotten User TYxYPGxQdw 2011-11-19 18:55:03 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0

When I start virt-manager from the command line in say a konsole window, it pops-under, not pops-over.

Since the command line gives an error message of 

WARNING: no socket to connect to

it appears as though the application has failed to launch.

This may be due to what appears to be a new and very annoying "not focus stealing" bug in KDE4

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a terminal window that covers most of the screen
2. Enter the virt-manager command

Actual Results:  
The virtual machine manager appears under the terminal window

Expected Results:  
virt-manager should appear as the on-top, focussed, window

Launched from konsole in KDE4.

This sounds like a KDE problem to me.  Possibly related to 732955.
