The old behavior was, in my opinion, better when using the mouse. The
best way, IMHO, would be to use gtk_button_set_focus_on_click with FALSE
on the radiobuttons.

It might confuse some people if it closes by default without
explanation. Also, another way to use the appfinder would be to have it
open all the time, and then switch to it when one wants to launch an
