Public bug reported:

I hope I've got the correct package to log this against.

Symptom:
LibreOffice dialogs (such as password prompts, plaintext/csv imports etc) do not receive WM focus if a LibreOffice app is running and minimised.
This causes a fairly severe usability issue, where it seems like LibreOffice has crashed, since nothing seems to happen when you click (and continue to click) to open a file that requires user action on a dialog.

I've replicated the issue in KDE and RazorQT which is why I'm logging it
against this qt-x11 package.

It affects 12.04 and 14.04 (tested, I imagine there are more)

The issue does not occur in Unity or Gnome.

I made two videos - based on:

Ubuntu 12.04, bog standard install. Add kde via:
  sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

add this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-4-3 
upgrade all libreoffice packages to 4.3.0.4:
  sudo apt-get install $(dpkg -l | grep libreoffice | awk '{print $2}')

Video 1: Unity Desktop, expected (correct) behaviour

Video 2: Logged out of Unity, logged into KDE Desktop - unexpected behaviour, as described by this bug:
