The focus on a GtkCList row, for example: there is no caret and no input
there, but it's the area that the user is interested to if he changes the
focus row with the keyboard. Also, caret movement is needed, but it depends
also in what coordinate system it is reported: if it is in characters/lines
in the text buffer it's useless for gmag; if it's is in pixel coordinates
it's useless for gspeech. We need both, IMHO.
