Bug Description
Binary package hint: clusterssh
Clusterssh (cssh) is a handy application that allows me to administrate multiple machines via ssh in parallel. However, this application effectively stopped working in Kubuntu 9.10. It worked fine in Kubuntu 8.04 through 9.04.
1: start cssh to a set of machines.
2: change focus between main cssh window and the individual xterm-windows for some times.
3: suddenly you will notice, that the main cssh window will not give up focus. This makes each command or keystroke be sent to every server that has a connection open. This can leed to serious problems, because an unwanted command can be sent to a server. Possibly leading to downtime or data loss.
When this happens, it is often also impossible to move the main cssh window.

Extremely annoying and dangerous. I've experienced this since the upgrade to KDE4 with jaunty. I've had to stop using clusterssh as a result.
Setting special window/application settings to "Focus stealing: extreme" does not resolve this.
