mmmmm.. define "not working"; they changed a bit in how they work, but that
was to fix other issues. passive doesn't mean "can't get focus"

i wonder if it would be possible to track the last-focused window and just
send x events directly to it. but yes, otherwise .. hm ... i think that the
keyboard would need to handle it's own popup window and ensure it never gets
focus. putting that into passive popup as a general case situation will screw
up other widgets that do need focus; perhaps we can fold it into popupapplet
for 4.4 if there's a general need for it.
