Doh, right. The overriding of GtkWindow::type was crack, now it works
fine.

That's the thing I was most unsure about the selections whiteboard, it
indicates on the "insertion" section that pastes in that case rely on
OSK features, but that is missing on one hand, and on the other feels
weird to have two ways to do the same depending on the situation.

In the branch, now the window pops up too on insertion mode after 1s, it
feels nice and non-intrusive enough, as dragging the handle or typing
makes it disappear again.
