--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
This is actually one of the most complained-about features of GNOME. :) Check
out the more than one dozen duplicates on
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688434
Making the password dialog system-modal does indeed solve the problem of focus
stealing, but it also prevents you from doing anything else when it's active.
For example, if you store passwords in a password manager/generator or an
encrypted text file, you can no longer access those to copy your password for
the purpose of pasting into the password dialog.
KWin has explicit focus stealing support. I think it would make more sense to
report the bug there in a targeted manner ("x window stole focus while I was
typing my password in a dialog originated by Z app") rather than using the
sledgehammer approach that GNOME uses.
