No, it's not Gambas.  Recent versions of KDE have "focus stealing 
prevention" turned on by default, and that causes this behavior.  
It's very helpful in preventing IM windows from popping up in 
the middle of typing code, but not so cool for things like error 
messages.

In the KDE control center, look in Look and Feel/Window Behavior 
under the Advanced tab.... you should have a dropdown at the 
bottom of the dialog with the focus stealing prevention level.  
I think even if you set it to "Low" you might still have this 
issue, but experiment a little.
