Bug Description
Docked dialogs used to indicate if they had input focus by drawing the title bar in a darker shade. Current trunk lost this feature, probably with the merges of upstream changes in libgdl (alongside with the symbol in the title bar to minimize the dialog now pointing in the wrong direction).
Not being able to determine the current focus area easily often results in keyboard shortcuts getting caught in the dialog context instead of the canvas area (thus triggering other bugs, e.g. with the layers list).
Could this feature (or something similar) be restored, or will libgdl no longer allow this (and local changes in Inkscape had not been accepted upstream)?
Tested and reproduced with current trunk on
Mac OS X 10.5.8 (GTK+ 2.24.4, 2.24.10), X11 and Quartz backend
OS X 10.7.2 (GTK+ 2.24.10), X11 backend

Forwarded upstream.
GDL completely changed its drawing routine a long time ago, and our patch no longer worked so I "temporarily" dropped it. The upstream developers are very helpful, and keen to adopt useful enhancements so if anyone has a way to fix this, we can probably push it into upstream GDL.
