I guess they should stay "Dock"? (Works fine when I remove that > afaics) A dock window can get focus. I do not think that there is any code in KWin which would prevent it, but I would have to check again. Anyway an application can force focus by going down to X11 level or using the KWindowSystem wrapper for it. Normally applications are not supposed to do it, but on a workspace level that's totally fine. Cheers Martin
