Having read the discussion so far, it sounds to me like whether a button
(or related widget) takes focus on being clicked is really a feature of
the style. Dialog box buttons probably should because it makes keyboard
navigation much easier, toolbar buttons probably shouldn't since they'd
steal the focus from the main widget of the window and there ought to be
at least two alternate mechanisms for invoking them anyway (menus and
keyboard shortcuts).
