Description of Problem:  
Every so often the command line app will refuse input.  Although you
can give 
it focus, pressing keys has no effect. 
  
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  
gnome-applets-2.0.1-2 
  
How Reproducible:  
It's happened a couple of times.

Fairly likely to be a metacity bug - you might want to see if you can
reproduce
with other window managers.

I am able to reproduce this consistently. Below are the steps to reproduce this
problem. Hope this helps in hunting down the bug. Using Gnome 2.6 code base.

Description of Problem:
When the command line applet is dragged out of the panel and placed
on the desktop, the text entry field gets disabled. 


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Add to Panel the command line applet.
2. Right click on the applet and choose Preferences.
3. Select the item 'Show Handle'
4. Click & hold on the handle and drag the applet out of the panel.
5. Place the applet anywhere on the desktop.
6. Change focus to some other window.
7. Click in the text field entry of the applet now.

Actual Results:
The text field entry of the applet is disabled.

Expected Results:
The text field entry of the applet should not get disabled.

How often does this happen? 
Always

Alright, i must add to this that in CVS the show handle and show frame have
been removed.

Is it possible to reproduce this without using the handle ?

If not, i guess it's fixed in CVS HEAD.

I recall this, I'm pretty sure it was a metacity bug. But it seems to be fixed
nowadays, so I'm declaring it fixed.
