Re: Checking for window inactivity

[Alem Dain <alem dain gmail com>]

Unfortunately I think that when the popup menu appears, focus switches
to it automatically, and so the window really *has* lost focus.

Easiest solution I can see is to examine all the children
(recursively) of the window that has "lost" focus, and check to see if
any of them has focus.  You can do this using gtk_container_forall()
or gtk_container_foreach() (probably the latter is more approrpiate
here).  Perhaps GTK has some functionality that will check this sort
of thing for you, but I couldn't find it.

There's a gtk_window_has_toplevel_focus() which seems to me to be
intuitively what you'd want, but it seems to always report exactly the
opposite of what I'd expect.  Hmm.
