Summary: Dialog on gtk don't get initially focus

Initial Comment:
Not really sure, if this is a bug or a feature. For me, it is the first thing, and find it annoying.

On MSW, it does. I have several Dialogs, where I would have to insert (on wxpython):

class dlg(wx.Dialog):
   def __init__(...)
   ...
   if wx.Platform == '__WXGTK__':
      self.SetFocus()

Is that intended? I find it very annoying.

This was already fixed on the trunk (wxTopLevelWindow now uses
WX_DECLARE_CONTROL_CONTAINER() and so it moves focus to first child). I
think the change wouldn't be binary compatible as 2.8 backport.

I recommend you change your code to set the focus (before calling Show or
ShowModal) to the control that the user is most likely to want to interact
with first.
