In an integrated desktop like KDE some events are trapped by the desktop and
then sent on to the application if need be. Focus change events for sure. I
don't know what kate expects for those events. When used stand alone it may
still expect to receive certain events from the integration daemon and not as
straight keypresses from the input device.
