The problem is X does send an event when the window is visible (instead of just mapped) but gtk does not offer this signal by default, and the keyboard needs to be grabbed when it is visible. Debian's list was not full of spam and has already accepted my patch.

Well, the list doesn't seem to be full with spam anymore so maybe you'll
be more lucky :-)

I have verified that debian patch, it works even for trunk and fixes
problems with *box WMs. So this patch actually addresses the issue
instead of creating workaround.

If you use any patch for this, I suggest you use debian patch and not my
workaround.
