Log out of KDE 2. Log back in 3. Don't choose any special options about focus or top or bottom - just use KDE For me, KDE always behaves normally. New windows open on top, any other window that I click on comes to the top. The one setting that you might want to look at is Focus Stealing Prevention. I have mine set to Low. In Control Centre / Desktop / Window behavior make sure you have Focus Policy = Click to Focus Click raise active window = True These are the default settings and KDE works fine with the defaults.
