Another focus matter...

Hi !

  Speaking of focus, would it be possible not to shift the focus to the
currently active widget ?

  Example: a ComboBox in a form. When the user clicks on the ComboBox to make
a selection, the form that has the ComboBox looses focus in such a way that
it's window title bar becomes inactive and, according to the desktop manager
(KDE in this case), will become greyed out or otherwise adopt the inactive
color scheme in use.

  This major shift of focus for a combo box is unusual in applications and
somewhat distractive for the common user who may wonder what serious thing is
happening when only a selection is being made.

  At least that's the behaviour with KDE on SuSE 9.3. Is it the same on
Windows and OS/2 ?

Cheers.
