I tried using set_focus_chain() on the window object that didn't
affect anything,  I then tried using set_focus_chain() on the first
Vbox that is packed into the window, that did do something.  When the
<tab> key it hit the entry widget that is first emits a
'focus-out-event' signal, then the focus returns to the first widget,
it doesn't move to the second widget in the chain.
