I'm a total ignoramous about the technical issues involved here...
But another solution that might work is to block the pre-lighting when
its a panel applet that has been focused (as opposed to the actual panel
itself). I don't mind if the panel itself prelights if the actual panel
has been click on. Actually, its good feedback since it lets users know
that they've clicked in a blank spot (esp. since *ahem* certain window
list applets have large areas that look blank ;-)
I think that would solve most of the issues detailed in my previous
message.
