I have got the accelerator stuff working nicely now. However, the user
can assign a single character shortcut (like just 'a' or '+') to a menu
item. Now, if there's a Gentry widget in the window, once you put the
input focus inside that widget, you can enter text there and the single
character shortcuts obviously don't work anymore.

How do I take away the input focus of the Gentry widget? When pressing
return inside the Gentry widget or clicking inside the window itself I
could then take the input focus out of the Gentry widget so that the
accelerators work again.
