it's correct ControllerWindow has the focus, since it's the view's widget.
then when a view has the focus, a qgraphicsitem in the scene the view is 
viewing can have the focus... but focus of qgraphicsscene items and focus of 
the real widgets is a slightly different thing

no, better avoiding grabkeyboard ;)

so the probem is that the cursor is blinking but the key evets aren't actually 
delivered?
