Yep, but the only workaround I found currently working is this:

- In my KlipperApplet::focusInEvent() call mywidget->setFocus(). This ensures 
focus gets set when clicking on an icon in a panel with mouse. 
Or else I can't get the focus set right while clicking (at least in the ways i 
tried)
- In KlipperApplet::popupEvent() call mywidget->setFocus() too. This ensures 
that focus gets set when invoking popup with a global shortcut assigned to it.
If I'm not calling it here, focus doesn't get set on keyboard invocation of 
the popup.

Yeah, these are workarounds, not very good.

Would be nice I think. But we'll need to ensure that focus gets set only after 
d->dialog inside a popupapplet will be activated. Or any other possible 
(temporary or offscreen for ex) widget on the scene. 
That is we don't wont a focusOut event coming to the widget right after we 
told it to focusIn :)

Cheers,
Dmitry.
