- The focussing in gtk is dominated by the windowmanagers. You can't
"control" the focus as under win32. You can only give "suggestions". 
- The focus messages are not sent in the same order as under win32. 
- The focus is locked during many gtk calls.

That's the reason why you get a lot of "NOTHING has focus".

I improved the focussing a little bit, so that less focus messages are sent
and focussing became a little bit better.

Can you give an example?
