That means that any application using Gtk for handling the window should
behave nice by default with xstroke (i.e. like the GPE apps appearently
do) ?

But back to dillo: What strikes me is that the text field in the small
window also looses its focus if I begin the stroke in some other part
inside the small window (e.g. on one of the three buttons at the bottom
of the window). If this was a proper Gtk window, that shouldn't
happen either, right ?
