Re: Give keyboard focus to GtkMenu

[kcirtap lavabit com]

I discovered that if my application's main window is focused when I pop-up
the GtkMenu anywhere on the screen, the GtkMenu also has keyboard focus
and can be navigated using the keyboard keys.

However, if my application's main window does _not_ have focus, that's
when the menu doesn't receive keyboard focus and can't be navigated using
the keyboard, though this is what I'm trying to accomplish: keyboard focus
to a GtkMenu even if the main window isn't in the foreground and doesn't
have focus.
