Applets: key events, OBJECT/EMBED

[Stefan Reich]

btw, I am calling:

      setFocusable(true);
      requestFocusInWindow();

in the applet. And the KeyListener is registered directly on the Applet
object. I sometimes see that the applet is not even grabbing the keyboard
focus - the cursor stays in the location bar, for example.
