The java.awt.Component.transferFocus and the default handler for the TAB key have a
different behaviour; in particular, the tansferFocus method do not
descend panels in the widget tree, as a consequence of the fact the
Panel.isFocusTraversable method return false.
The TAB shortcut handler do traverse panels, because it do not call the
transferFocus method but it have its own implementation of traversal
A quick check with the Sun JDK show that the Sun transferFocus method
*does* traverse panels, so i suppose that is the correct behaviour;
the following patch implement this behaviour for the transferFocus method.
