Prevent newly launched app stealing window focus

I use KDE 3.5.10 on PClinuxOS. Whenever I launch an application it always appears above any currently open windows, even if I'm using them. I'd like to find a way of launching the new application in the background and prevent it from stealing the window focus from my current application. I'm sure did this on my other computer (KDE 3.4 on Mandriva), but I can't remember how!

I don't want to have to launch applications minimized, and I don't want to have to use kstart or change the window settings manually for every single application, I just want to alter a global setting somewhere which will mean that the current window's focus is not stolen by default.

Any ideas?
