It no longer accepts focus from tab events, as that's confusing. It steals focus and releases it on mouse enter and leave events, as requested in GafferHQ#119. I experimented with painting a border around the GadgetWidget (viewer and graph editor) when they had the focus, but I wasn't particularly keen on the way it looked. Will await feedback before going any further with that.

Currently users have to click in a panel to set focus, then press the desired hotkey (e.g. 'f' to frame view).
This may mean that the user looses any node/item selection when they click.
Additionally - it would be beneficial to have a subtle visual indicator to show which panel has current focus (possibly a coloured outline round the contents of the panel)
What happens if focus is in a text/numerical entry field?
