As far as I understand the code - no we don't need it. The old code acted
this way. It looks hard for a widget that accepts WIDGET_FOCUS messages.
If we introduce the check that you suggest, you'll end up exactly in the
same situation that this patch is trying to remedy.

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. In any case I
think the current code is incomplete (wrong) and I consider it a
regression.

Anyway, if there is a doubt about this patch maybe we should ask someone
with more knowledge of the code for advice.
