However I think putting custom focus methods all over GNOME is clearly
a terrible idea from a maintenance standpoint. If a specific app
really really needs this for an app-specific reason then OK, but
otherwise I think patches to do that should be rejected.  Instead
people should figure out how to do it in GTK, even if it's a lot of
work.
