Gwibber update status window (from indicator) closes when loosing focus

[Frederik Elwert]

When choosing "update status" from the messaging menu indicator, gwibber opens a small floating window. This window closes when loosing focus. This is not ideal, especially since all entered data is lost.

I think there are two possible fixes for this:

* Keep the window even when it looses focus.
* Keep the text entry content, so that it is still there when opening the window again from the messaging menu.

There are two cases that should explain why the current behavior is not ideal:

Unintended opening windows

* Start a download in the background that will open the file after the download completes (e.g., a PDF file)
* Open the "update status" window from the messaging menu
* Start typing your status update
* The download finishes, opens an application window (e.g., evince)
→ Status update window is lost, and so is your text

Looking for additional information

* Open the "update status" window from the messaging menu
* Start typing your status update
* Switch to another application, e.g. a browser, to look for additional information you want to include in your status update
→ Status update window is lost, and so is your text

the window also closes whenever i try AltGr+à (wich on an italian keyboard is the combination needed to type #), which is a problem since it doesn't allow the use of hashtags.
