can't use arrows when renaming on the desktop

Bug description:
[ Impact ]
During a file rename operation on the desktop, when using the cursor
keys to move the cursor forward or backwards, the dialog closes. It's
only possible to move the cursor by using the mouse.
Moving the cursor when renaming a file is very common, because a lot
of cases consist on adding or removing something at the end of the
filename, or change the extension, so nearly all users will suffer
this bug. It's true that they can use the mouse, but for users used
to the keyboard, this is a very cumbersome bug.
[ Test Plan ]
In the desktop, right-click over an icon and select 'Rename...'. When
the rename popup appears, press the left or the right cursor key to
move the cursor.
If the bug is there, the popup will disappear and no renaming will
happen. If the bug has been fixed, the text cursor will move forward
or backwards, as expected.
[ Where problems could occur ]
The patch mainly affects the hotkeys code, so a mistake in those
changes could disable the keyboard shortcuts for the desktop. In the
worst case, the desktop main program won't run, thus leaving the
desktop without icons. No data loss would happen, so just reverting to
the previous version of the code would be enough to fix the problem.
