Bug description:
BACKGROUND
Some months ago, while implementing the accessibility support for the
Launcher I realized that the Launcher didn't emit properly the signals
InputArea::OnStartFocus and InputArea::OnEndFocus, as was the parent
the one emitting it.
So Jay included the concept of the _enter_focus_input_area, the
InputArea inside the BaseWindow that effectively would receive the
keyboard focus, and Unity started to use it.
CURRENT STATE
But right now SetEnterFocusInputArea is not used at all on Nux, and
although it is used on Unity (PlacesController and unityshell), the
field that it sets "_enter_focus_input_area" is not used at all.
In the specific case of the Launcher, it seems that gets/free the
keyboard focus using GrabKeyboard/UnGrabKeyboard, and after a quick
smoke test, it seems that removing that call doesn't have any effect.
So I would suggest to remove that method, and update accordingly
Unity, as it seems that is useless.
