So with the latest builds from this morning I (1) still have the broken
focus indication and (2) I now have a border around all applets on my
'regular' panels, which (3) doesn't solve any focus indication problems
for hidden panels, (4) doesn't fix the menu bar, and (5) breaks
usability by making it impossible to click on the last several pixels of
the screen.

I've documented all of these issues in bug 82887.
