I remember reading a highly detailed document about why
focus changes are the wrong place to authenticate entries
(on any platform actually), I cant find that document now...

This slightly touches on the subject:

I agree that there should be a clear entry-validation process,
you have a good idea ? maybe you should take it up on
gtk-devel-list gnome org ?
