[rox-devel] Entry style widgets vs the panel

[Lucas H. <lu...@di...>]

I've written a small program to let you run commands, using the
ComboBoxEntry widget (to allow command history support).

[SNIP]
class UI:
	def __init__(self):
		self.entry = gtk.combo_box_entry_new_text()
		# HACK: use empty column to clear the entry field
		self.entry.append_text('')
		
		self.set_events(gtk.gdk.KEY_PRESS_MASK)
		self.connect('key-press-event', self.run_command)
		
		self.add(self.entry)
		
	def run_command(self, entry, event):
		if event.keyval == gtk.keysyms.Return:
			cmd = self.entry.get_active_text()
			if cmd:
				self.entry.insert_text(1,cmd)
				os.popen2(cmd)
				self.entry.set_active(0)
		return True
			
class Window(rox.Window, UI):
	def __init__(self):
		rox.Window.__init__(self)
		UI.__init__(self)
		
class Applet(applet.Applet, UI):
	def __init__(self, res):
		applet.Applet.__init__(self, res)
		UI.__init__(self)

It works quite well as a windowed application, however, when I run it
as an applet. I am unable to get the entry to focus (ie, can not type
anything), I have also tried this with the Entry widget, to no avail.

Any clues as to why this might happen and or how to get it to work as
expected?
