Whereas sub windows such as help>system information always open on top of the main window the friends list, whether opened form view>friends or from the link in the bottom right hand corner, almost always opens behind the main window, perhaps 1 in 10 times it opens on top.

in all cases my kde panel shows the friends window as a separately grouped item, all other windows opened from the client are shown as grouped with the main window icon
