display-x11/gtk: grab input focus on press or release

On a mouse action, make sure we get keyboard input.
I dropped this from gtk a while back because I couldn't see why it was
needed.  I now see why.

The window managed might choose to move the focus elsewhere - e.g. when
a window appears.  Use can get it back by leave/enter, but a simple
click should work too.
