There was a similar issue in the greeter at one point where the focus
was not in the window at all.  After a lot of investigation it magically
disappeared in a GTK+ update...

What I suspect is happening here is GTK+ does not consider the window to
have focus, though it does have focus according to X (which is why you
can type into the field).  When the problem occurred before using
gtk_window_present would cause the window to get focus and a code
inspection of GTK+ shows that this does do some different things.

This is probably all a side effect of not having a window manager.  I
was investigating how hard it would be to implement a trivial WM to work
around this.  AFAICT GTK+ is supposed to work without a WM though.
