I find the grep dialog less usefull than it could be. My work habit is to pick up a text string (into the copy buffer) and then invoke the grep dialog box. My expectation is to be able to paste the search string and hit enter, but the dialog box doesn't automatically focus on the pattern field.

I've put together a small patch that causes the grep dialog box to focus on the pattern field when it is brought up:
