That would be *slightly* odd (but probably not abominably so); normally
if you click on something focusable, it should get keyboard focus.  

Perhaps the widget should just pass any keypress except left arrow,
right arrow or Space through to its parent?  (I haven't seen it in
action, but I'm guessing those are the only three it would need: left
and right to move focus between the show/hide button and menu button,
and Space to activate whichever of the two had focus...)

Cheeri,
Calum.
