Did you forget to call setFocusPolicy on the widget, perhaps?

Another possibility is that you are calling setFocus too early. From the 
docs: "Be aware that if the widget is hidden, it will not accept focus 
until it is shown." You might have to wait for the widget to be shown 
before you can call setFocus.
