Bug Description

Environment: Kubuntu 9.04 Live CD
Package version: konqueror-4:4.2.2-0ubuntu4

Most text boxes politely stop demanding attention when their window loses focus. I.e. the text cursor ("caret") stops flashing, and disappears altogether. This doesn't seem to happen with text boxes in web pages, as displayed by Konqueror.

I wish I could screencap this, but a static screenshot will do. Look at my screenshot and you will see that the text cursor in the Google search box is still visible, even though the window does not have focus. (You can clearly see that a different window has the focus).
