Yeah, pchel got this fear of an endless loop because of something you
said in one of your mails. However, you wrote:

"I get it that it is guaranteed to have at least one widget that accepts
WIDGET_FOCUS. So an endless loop is unlikely to happen."

If the above statement is true, then what is the need for this updated
patch? Have you checked the code for the existence of a possible
infinite loop? I haven't noticed it when testing the original patch. I
somewhat have the feeling this new patch is redundant and pchel's fear
is only based on a misunderstanding of what was written.

Leonard.
