Bug Description

When the subject field is focused, the user needs to press 4 times on Tab to change focus to the input field. This should be only 1 in case the search field is closed.

When the search field is open, but no value is typed in the search field, this should be 2 times Tab.

When the search field is open, and a value is typed in the search field that is found several times, this should be 3 times Tab (because also the Next button will be active).

Focus order depends on the widget order when they were packed and the widgets that receive all the resize behavior from the toplevel window must be packed last. This is the reason behind this apparently silly behavior.

Now there (when cvs starts working again). But this is an ad hoc solution explicitly binding the Tab key. I'd like a more generic way to set Tab traversal order. Lets see how this works before going on with other dialogs, like groupchat.
