After opening a gimp window the focus remains in the program from where I opened it and does not change to gimp.
Concrete:
I open an image from a list in dolphin. I want to select all the image (ctr-a), but instead I select all the list in dolphin.... To select the image I must must click in the window, ...
Is there a possibility to tell gimp to behave normal with its windows, just as if it was any other program?
Thanks for hints!

Hi Daniel,
I use The GIMP all the time under KDE4 and do not see this behavior. My desktop preference is set to 'Focus Under Mouse' which might have something to do with it. I also use drag & drop with The GIMP, too, for opening files. I just select the file(s) that I want to open and drop them on the default blank canvas. Each opens in it's own child window.
hth & regards,
Carl
Within gimp I also have 'Focus Under Mouse', but not within kde (I don't want windows to get focus just because the mouse is there...). Anyway: in your case you also must hover the mouse over the corresponding gimp window. This is what I don't want. When I click a text-file in dolphin, kwrite opens. When I now click ctrl-a all the text in the recently opened text-window is selected - and /not/ the list in dolphin, no matter where the mouse is, and without first clicking the text-window... This is what I'd like to have with gimp, too. Carl, if you open a gimp-window from dolphin (e.g. right-clicking open-with...) and stay with you mouse in dolphin (assumed gimp does not cover your dolphin) and then click ctrl-a: what gets selected? The image or the dolphin list? For me it's the dolphin list... (Drag and drop for me *only* works from dolphin, but not from digikam - I often open gimp from digikam and the same problem occurs as I described it with dolphin) ...
