Nah, I just didn't have anything more to contribute beyond the function 
name.  :)

Most of the stuff I know I figured out from trial and error (I remember 
trying to figure out the focus stuff) and from reading the GTK source.

From the GTK2 source (which hopefully hasn't changed much from 1.2 in 
this case) it appears that set_focus_child() emits the "set-focus-child" 
signal, which by default for a GtkContainer doesn't do much more than 
muck with some Adjustments that don't seem especially relevant.


I read people elsewhere bitching about the poor quality of the GTK docs 
but it is developed by volunteers, after all...
I do the best I can with what I have. :)
