All those BUGS not branches... with the external-gdl branch.

- Docked dialogs no longer grab keyboard focus... this is a bit
annoying, because you cannot tab-select input fields.

@Josh - The upstream developer sounded very positive about accepting some/all of our changes (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652248). I guess the focus-switching is the most critical issue... we can live without icons, and as per the preceding discussion, it should be possible just to use the existing API if we decide we want to. I have asked Johannes from gdl if he would be happy to add this feature and if he can estimate an ETA.
The focus switching seems to trigger other UI/workflow issues in Inkscape's GUI though. I haven't built the branch with the external gdl yet - to be able to compare - but will provide some links to the bug tracker [1]: several reports (+duplicates) are about keyboard shortcuts trapped by docked dialogs - failing without explicitly moving the focus back to the canvas or even causing status changes in the current document (for example making 'root' the current drawing level even though 'root' is normally not accessible from within the GUI).
Before committing changes upstream, maybe those issues can be investigated if they are due to local changes in gdl, possibly limited to ported platforms only or need to be addressed elsewhere in Inkscape's code?
