IIRC, the 'activate' signal fires but only when the application is
already in focus and you click on the StatusIcon again.

Sorry, probably a silly question, but where?
This bug (the only open gtk-osx one?) is also related to focus:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=660693&group_id=70160&atid=526807

FYI: I did try all sorts of ways to focus the widget, or rather the gdk
window that backs it, to no avail.
