* Install an event-filter for the view implementations. Whenever a view implementation gets the focus, it should request it's activation.

* Let the metadata widget only get the focus by clicking.

* Tried to install a similar filter for the wheel-event code duplication in the view-implementations, but the event filter is invoked _after_ the view implementation gets the wheel event... -> added a note the the 3 implementations as hint.
