If I open GIMP for the first time by right-clicking in Dolphin, it comes to the foreground and hence Ctrl-A would select all in the GIMP. However, if I go to File -> Close View, then return to Dolphin and right-click to open another file in the GIMP which is still running, it will open in the background.

The same is true here. Even if I open several file at the same time, the /first time/ the last opened window is active. This is exactly like I want it - but also for subsequent files...
Hehe. Persistence pays off. I think I've found a workaround, though I can't guarantee if it will have any unwanted side effects. I've just plunged into the deepest bowels of KDE system settings, to dark unexplored corners that I never knew existed. I always knew KDE was infinitely customizable, but I never took that literally until now!
So if you go to Window Behaviour -> Window Rules, I've configured settings specifically for a GIMP window. There is an export function so I created an exported text file named .gimp_kwin_focus_rule.kwinrule, and I'm pasting the contents here: ----
[GIMP to front] Description=GIMP to front clientmachine=[insert your machine name/domain here, though it shouldn't be important] clientmachinematch=0 fsplevel=0 fsplevelrule=2 title=* titlematch=0 windowrole=gimp-image-window windowrolematch=1 wmclass=Gimp-2.8 wmclasscomplete=false wmclassmatch=1
---- So if you paste that into a text file and import it that should work. Note that the 'clientmachine' field was populated with my machine in the form name.domain.com but you can probably put a * or anything you like in there because the match state in the following line is set to zero anyway.
Hope this helps.
