On the GMenu applet both key shortcuts - for menu and execute command -
work instantly.

But the "execute command" dialog has the same focus issue as the
terminal applet. After raising it via shortcut key I must click it so I
can enter the command text.

Bug description:
The cairo dock terminal applet with it's shortkey function would be really a great way to instantly bring up a terminal if those two issues would be addressed:

- When activated via shortkey the terminal does not take input focus. So I still have to click into the terminal window to actually type commands.

- Sometimes, at yet mostly undeterminable situations, the shortkey does not work. This f.e. is the case right after cairo dock was started. Then, when I click the applet icon once, the shortkey works, at least for some time. (Sorry for not being able to narrow it down further)

My version information:
Latest Cairo Dock in OpenGL mode 2.1.3-7 on Ubuntu 9.10 64Bit, Gnome/Compiz
