[Kflog-devel] kflog crashes when editing waypoint

Hi Robin,

That's an issue of your window manager (probably kwin, i.e. KDE?). If
you are using KDE, look at "Control Center" -> "Desktop" -> "Window
Behaviour" -> "Advanced" -> "Focus stealing prevention level".

This is a known bug (see my mail to kflog-devel dated 21 Mar 2009):

If you have a fix for one of those, I'd really appreciate that!
