[vtkusers] Give keyboard focus to a QVTKWidget without "touching" it

[Shakes]

Hi Jesus,

Qt has something called Strong Focus (click and keyboard focus) option. 
All u need to do is to set the FocusPolicy to StrongFocus, also there is 
a help page for keyboard focusing in Qt Documentation. Also if you have 
multiple windows in workspace, then set active window in QWorkspace. If 
u have multiple windows in general, then setFocus should work if called 
from the correct spot.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Shakes
