KDE Plasma is implementing stricter focus stealing prevention on Wayland through enhanced XDG Activation protocol enforcement. The new "Extreme" setting in KWin will only allow window activation with valid tokens, addressing security and usability issues present in X11's timestamp-based system. Developers have already fixed multiple applications including Dolphin, KRunner, and Kickoff to properly request activation tokens, while extending backend support through DBusRunner specifications.
