As I just said on gnome-accessibility-list, I agree-- this doesn't sound
right to me.  I think the panel should only show focus when it actually
*has* focus, although this would be inconsistent with other widgets'
prelight behaviour (which I guess is why the panel prelight was
implemented this way).
