When this debate was raging on #xwt, none of us could think of a reason to 
have a clickable not also focusable.  Think about keyboard nav -- how the 
hell do you get to a non-focusable widget from the keyboard?

In the case of David's button that doesn't steal focus, you can still do so 
but it is the exception, not the rule in any case I can think of.

How do you do it in normal MacOSX?  I honestly don't know...
