I do not hope so... I'm using this function in a window with no other
objects that can get focus (there are just two scrollbars). My test app
has three windows and works just fine, including a window with some spinbuttons.

Have you tried it? Let the canvas do the widget_grab_focus thing and just run it...

I think it works (can't try it since my linux box is about 60km away :-( ).

good luck,
