I guess the real question was how to make it do so without having to
*explicitly* do so - it appears to have given the focus to the "OK"
button, rather than to the first widget in the dialog box, for some
reason.

Perhaps Windows and/or Motif and/or Qt and...  all have different rules,
and all have non-obvious rules, for determining which widget gets the
focus when a window is first popped up, but GTK+'s rules don't seem to,
by default, do what I expect.

JavaScript + UNIX Netscape appears to have, as its primary function, the
creation of files in the current directory with the characters "c", "o",
"r", and "e", in that order, in their name (the exact name appears to
depend on the flavor of UNIX you're using - on Solaris, it's just
"core", but, on FreeBSD, it's called "netscape.core"); for some reason,
Netscape seems to get rid of all its windows after doing so.  :-)
