That seems to defeat the purpose of that feature in KDE which you're
trying to override!

>From an earlier conversation in this thread, I got the impression that
"override-redirect" is something that the window manager uses to override
the default behavior of the application (to override the XRaiseWindow call
of the application.)  In your case, KDE uses "override-redirect" to
prevent your app from coming up to the top.  The app doesn't get to do the
overriding, only the WM.  Or that's the impression I got from earlier
posting in this thread...

Wish I could be of more help!
