Patch for that request

I have 2 monitors and usually keep konversation opened on the secondary one. 
Unfortunately sometimes konversation receives focus and I don't realize it until I already typed in chat what I was supposed to type on the terminal in the primary monitor (once i almost gave my e-mail password to a 100 people).

What I suggest (and already have a patch for it) is having an option to disable the inputline whenever it looses focus. So the user have to click on the inputline if wants to type something.

I made this patch for myself but a friend suggested to ask you guys if you find this useful.

I'm also open for suggestions.

PS: the patch is reabase on top of the current master (20064e6a07d10097fe55a82ba7c1c9f102a9dea9)

Hi,

this is a very niche thing and I'm admittedly wary of budgeting a checkbox for it, but otoh an RFE with a patch attached is hard to refuse :).

The mouse click part of your patch unfortunately won't fly, though. There are other ways to move focus to the input line, like the works-in-all-situations shortcut Esc and good old tab. Those should work too.
