About 70% of the time, the window gets activated; about 30% of the time
the (string gadget in the) requester does.

Exactly *which* will be active after the requester pops up seems to be
entirely random, as repeated experimentation using vt100's "change dir"
function will produce either result ... without moving the mouse, or
doing anything else to the system (until, of course, the window gets
activated instead of the requester ... in which case, you must move
the mouse to click into the requester in order to respond to it).

Any ideas for fixing this bug?
