The documentation is not accurate. 'Activate' is raised when a child window is 
activated. But it is raised too when the window is already the current 
window. 

The aim of this event was the same as the top-level window 'Activate' event. 
So it should not be raised when the child window is already "activated", i.e. 
when one f its children already has the focus. I should detect that specific 
case, but I didn't the time to do it.

What's the problem with having more "Activate" events than needed?
