accessible-event listener

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch the attached accessible-event listener in xterm or vte. [*]
2. Launch gnome-terminal.
3. Press Return a couple of times to cause text to be inserted.
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+T to create a new tab.
5. Repeat step 3 for the newly-created tab.

Expected results:
1. After step 4, an object:state-changed:focused event would be emitted for the terminal in the new tab.
2. After step 5, the text-changed events would say the source is focused, just like occurred after step 3.

Actual results:
1. After step 4, the terminal which gave up focus does emit a state-changed event to indicate it gave up focus (this is good). But the new terminal does not emit this event claiming focus.
2. After step 5, the text-changed events say the source is not focused.

Impact: Orca deliberately ignores text-changed events in non-focused terminals because it's quite common for a non-focused terminal to be emitting text-changed events (package manager output, compiling output, etc.). But as a result of that, Orca is not presenting text in certain focused terminals because Orca doesn't know the terminals are focused.

[*] Note: The listener prints out text-changed events from gnome-terminal. You do not want to log the events resulting from logging the events. ;)
