I did.

That is an option, but I opted to have it keep the focus as the last
window clicked on.

That's how I have WindowMaker set up as well; it's the default, even.

I did solve this problem, though... I noticed the lack of the resizebar
along the bottom of the kmail windows, and I remembered that I can
disable it from the Ctrl+Esc window control menu (under Attributes...).
The default panel (Window Attributes) had the Disalbe Resizebar box
checked, and I unchecked it.  I thought, "I wonder what else is checked
that shouldn't be..." and went to the Advanced Options pane.  There I
found the Don't Let It Take Focus box checked as well!  I turned that
sucker off, and now it works very nicely.

Thanks for offering your help, anyway.
