KDE windows (kalarm) -- un-switchable-to, un-clickable (unpredictably)

[Agoston Bejo]

Sorry, it seems I hadn't managed to attach the screenshot properly...
(Although it doesn't give you much more information; you have to take my
word that right then neither of the 3 kalarms windows reacted to any
keyboard or mouse input... and that occurs all the time.)

Also, sometimes switching away and then back to the main kalarm window puts
the focus on one of the child windows. (But usually they are behind the
main window, so not or only partly visible.) --> as it is right now, it's a
mess...
