Just got an update of KDE on Aug 23, and afterwards, I was having a lot
of trouble with overlapping windows and window focus.  Essentially, when
two windows would overlap on a desktop I was looking at, they would
usually (probably 60% of the time) start flickering as soon as the mouse
got over one of them.  By flickering, I mean that focus would switch from
the upper window to the lower window quite rapidly, my CPU usage would go
through the roof, and it would be hard to do anything with the system. 
Switching to another desktop would cause the problem to cease, but upon
returning to the desktop with the overlapping windows, it would start
again.  The one action that I have taken that seems to have caused this
behaviour to cease, is that I turned off the focus follow mouse feature. 
It really sucks, because I like that feature, but hopefully this is just
a bug with the current release of KDE that will be fixed soon.  Can
anyone else who is running my version of KDE verify that this is a
problem?

I'm getting this same problem. Started after and update yesterday, very
annoying.
Just found this! In the control center turn on auto raise and delay focus and 
leave them at the default settings and it clears this right up.
