If the value is None, the calendar is created with the current date,
as there is no way to show None in a calendar. That value is properly
sent to the bizobj, but when the calendar gets focus, a selection is
made, and then the calendar dismissed, the textbox is updated, but
unless focus is returned to the textbox, the activeControlValid() will
not find it and flush its value. This only seems to happen in Gtk, so
that's why I was thinking it was a platform-specific problem with
focus, and why the "solution" was the overkill approach of flushing
the value on each keypress.
