- You cannot diable it by setting the inputFocusColor to the same as the
- background color as OLIT will 'helpfully' detect this and cause the
- field to be inverted instead.
-
- You can get a patched OLIT from Sun which will provide a new
- applicaton resource "mouseless" which will turn off keyboard traversal
- to non-text fields. Obviously, this means that the arrow keys will not
- work to move between choices.
