From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Epiphany/1.4.4 Description of problem: The version 2.10 of gnome-python-extras does not include a wrapper for the gnome_applet_request_focus method, thus, due to the new focus policies in gnome 2.10, it is not possible to write a python applet including a text entry of a component needing keyboard focus. Old applications need to be ported to this new API, or won't be able to get focus. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-python-extras-2.10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run a python applet with a text entry 2.Click on the text entry Actual Results: No cursor in the text entry, so it is not possible to input text. Expected Results: Cursor to appear in the text entry field, and being able to input text. Additional info: A wrapper is available in the unstable release (2.11) of this component.

Created attachment 120591 [details] Patch to add Applet.request_focus Here's a patch that adds the proper method to 2.10.0.
Is there any possibility of having this patch added? I require it in order for the new release of deskbar-applet to work properly.
Should be in next update
From User-Agent: XML-RPC gnome-python2-extras-2.10.0-6 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
Works here.
