Heh, it looks like they copied the MS-Windows (mis)feature, whereby
tapping the Alt key activates the menu bar, which would indeed require
a focus-in event; seems like some GNU/Linux distros have joined this
lunacy. In the MS-Windows build, we have w32-pass-alt-to-system to
control that.
(Sometimes it seems to me like GNU/Linux developers have no GUI ideas
of their own, and all they can do is copycat from MS-Windows.)

Perhaps we should generalize w32-pass-alt-to-system instead? Assuming
an application can control this behavior on GNU/Linux, that is.
