Okay. "not working" means it steals focus from the last window. > > Please help me at least with issue one.

But it must work with plasma and other window managers, too.

Well, what about a "setVeryPassivePopup"-method? But before I put the work into investigation how to write my own popup (probably I just need to subclass and set some window-flag?), the question remains why setPassivePopup suddenly changed its behaviour - or why its behaviour is different between Fedora and Ubuntu.
