konqueror + kfmclient how to prevent window raising?

If I want to open urls in new tabs in konqueror remotely, as from an rss client, I take it the way to do this is with "kfmclient newTab url". This does what I want, except it also raises the konqueror window. Is there any way to prevent it raising, like the --noraise argument that works with galeon?
Thanks.

The setting you're after might be a kwin thing. Right click on title bar and configure...

Take a look at "focus stealing prevention", and notice that you can set different behaviour for different programs. Sorry for being a bit vague, but hopefully this will help you in the right direction.

Thanks. It could very well be a window manager thing, but I use sawfish and haven't figured it out yet.

It seems to me that it should be an option to kfmclient though, as the user might want to raise the browser, or not raise it, depending on circumstances. Other browsers implement a '-noraise' option when doing "remote" openURL operations. I was hoping to find the same functionality in kfmclient/konqueror so I could have my rss client open a bunch of new tabs without raising the browser window.

Anyway, it's still stumping me. So far, galeon is the only browser I've found that seems to implement this feature independent of window manager (well, at least it works with both KDE and sawfish).
