gCvs2 still has focus issues

Richard, I'm sure you're aware, but apparently the GTK2 implementation 
still has some focus problems.  I'm now implementing the customize 
dialog for the popup menus.  I noticed when doing this that when 
clicking between the folders and files panes, focus doesn't seem to 
always follow along.  The easiest way to see this is to watch the 
Terminal window under anjuta;  I still have printf's in the code that 
identify when the popup menu appears that identify whether the popup 
thinks it is for the folder or file pane.

Right after you start up gcvs, left click in a blank area of the files 
pane, then right clickt the same place.  When I do this, the popup for 
folders appears.  I have to actually click on an entry in the files 
pane, and then the correct popup appears.  Now click on an empty area of 
the folder pane, and the reverse happens; the popup is still for the 
files pane.

I don't know GTK that well, but I'm suspecting that the reason this is 
happening is that all the logic we've added for focus handling and the 
popups has been for GtkTreeView widgets.  When I click on the 
background, probably the container containing the treeview, instead of 
the treeview itself, is getting these events.  Since the treeview is the 
only child of these containers, perhaps we can just have the container 
forward the events onto the treeview.  Thoughts?

Also, if you select a folder, it gets the blue selected background (I'm 
running Gnome 2.6 on Gentoo kernel 2.6.9, xorg 6.8.0.)  If you then 
click on a file, it also gets a blue selected background; the folder 
retains its blue selected background, however.  So visually it's not 
clear who has the focus.  This may be standard GTK/Gnome behavior, but 
it would be nice if the pane without the focus could change the 
selection color to gray.
