No, thinking modular.
Think about the fact that you wanted to use that for KLineEdit
(or was it KComboBox). Are you going to require that everyone using
it writes a method in the KTMW-derived class, to catch some
particular events that the lineedit wants to handle itself ?
Sounds wrong to me :-)

Always good to check, but I fail to see when this would not be true.
If a widget has the focus, then it means its toplevel widget is active,
otherwise it wouldn't have the focus :-)
(AFAIK)

Right - but if someone defines a KAction/QAccel with "Del", he certainly
does not want that to prevent deleting a char from a lineedit...
