I think this is the so-called "focus stealing prevention".
The idea is that it's there for your privacy and convenience. 
It's no good if you're typing some private information like a 
password and some instant messenger pops up a window and catches 
your input, transmitting it by accident to an irc channel ;-) .

If you don't like the out-of-the-box behavior you can adapt the focus 
stealing prevention level to your liking in the KDE control center: 

Desktop -> Window Behavior -> Advanced -> Focus Stealing Prevention Level
