[Inkscape-user] Inkscape under KDE - focus question

Hi, I know KDE can do all kinds of funky tricks with windows and focus etc. I was wondering if anyone out there has a way to do this: Make the floating dialogues (like align) release the focus (perhaps when the mouse is away) so that the main canvas keeps it. I am quite worn down by all the click one has to do to get the focus (keyboard) back onto the canvas between uses of dialogues -- one has to click the title bar so selections are not lost and then carry on. So, it's click, select, click the dialogue, work, click title bar, continue, repeat.

I could set focus to follow mouse, but that affects *all* other apps and it's not cool.

Just wondering.
