--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
This is a hard problem. Only one thing can have focus at a time, and the Global
Menu shows menus for the thing that does have focus. If we made the panel and
its widgets never take focus, then you would be unable to interact with them
using the keyboard--including typing search queries! Obviously that would not
be acceptable.

The only approach I could see working is to have the Global Menu continue to
show the menu of the last-focused window when the panel or one of its widgets
takes focus--but only then, not when the desktop takes focus.
