I just tried that. This works ok when I invoke popup by clicking on the 
applet's icon in a panel - focus is set correctly.

But if I assign a keyboard shortcut for the applet, focus isn't being set to 
my widget in focusInEvent().

On the contrary, if I use my previous method of calling setFocus() in a 
popupEvent(), this works when I trigger a popup by a shortcut, but doesn't 
work when I click on icon in panel :)

Any ideas why is this so?

If this is indeed a common case, that would be nice.
