External panel plugin focus problems

[Jannis Pohlmann]

Hey Jasper,

as already mentioned on the goodies mailinglist, I wrote Verve as an
internal plugin because I had problems with gaining the focus for the
input field (GtkEntry) with the external interface. After applying your
patch for using the external one, I get the same problems again.

Please compare xfce4-minicmd-plugin (which is an internal plugin and
uses the same Gtk hierarchy, GtkEntry inside of GtkEventBox) and
Verve. Both also use the same mechanism to grab the focus, see gboolean
verve_plugin_buttonpress_cb (...) in panel-plugin/verve-plugin.c (line
78).

Can you explain, why it is possible to grab the focus when clicking on
the minicmd entry and why it isn't possible when using the external
plugin interface?

Regards,
Jannis
