I'd have thought there was an easier way than to recurse through the
properties widgets, but there doesn't appear to be a standard GTK "give
focus to first focusable thing in here".  The recursion seems to work
(see tonights update), but the home-made widgets don't use the focus
very well.

Interestingly, adding the automatic focus for the first focusable thing
in the properties seems to have made Enter work (at least when said
thing doesn't grab Enter itself).  Esc already worked before.
