That's terrible. That's an "unbreak my software" preference. User's shouldn't have to mess with that; things should just work in ways they expect, out of the box.
I disagree. With how KDE handles this, I'm not at the mercy of the software vendor's whims on what windows stay on top and which ones don't. I have complete control through a standardized interface that can even be automated if I wish.
Does it require a little more knowledge on the part of the user? Yes, but it's worth it because with that knowledge comes power.
