[Eric] Hack for metacity / autocomplete focus bug

[Detlev Offenbach]

Hi,

I am wondering what is the difference between the Gnome window manager and the 
other ones around. It seems, that this issue is Gnome specific. I didn't see 
this on KDE3, KDE4 or Windows. That said, I don't think it is a good idea to 
include a hack in eric4.

Regards,
Detlev
