[Interest] Drag from a window without going in the desktop foreground when taking the focus

Dear all,
I have observed that many apps are well designed for inter-app drag&drop
behavior : when an item is dragged between window app A and window app B
while A did not have the focus, A takes the focus upon the drag click
without coming in the foreground. This allows, for instance, dragging from
a maximized window to a smaller one which is on top.
In my Qt app, the window is raised on top at the drag enter click event,
along with the acquired focus. How can I prevent this?
This was filed as a kde bug in 2001 and is still assigned, with a
workaround being "using the middle mouse button", which is not very
satisfactory.
Thanks,
Etienne
