Sure, by clicking anything in the property editor, the main toolbar,
the palette, or just by pressing the tab key.

Maybe this was fixed with trunk, I dont get that behavior (and its
not the indended behavior).

The behavior I get with trunk is that the first click selects the widget
(and cntl-x/cntl-c works), the second click is passed on to the widget,
in the case of the editable entry it will grab focus.
