After these changes, I'm getting some focus problems with GWorkspace.
The problem consists in a "focus loop" (I don't know how to define
exactly this in English) between the app main window and the
app menu.
If I do a file operation, for example I want to delete a file, an alert
panels shows to get confirmation from the user. When this panel closes,
the menu and the window get alternately the focus until I click on the
window.
