Just tried, in KDE.  Focus followed the mouse to FF - I scrolled without 
clicking on FF - but followed the mouse back to KMail, so perhaps the answer 
for Henry is that he should scroll FF then move the mouse back over kwrite - 
no click required - before starting to type.  I did have to slightly scroll 
over KMail to get the focus back.
