Default focus in quick search edit after opening main window

[fightling]

Hi,

I have a tiny but nice improvement for KeePassX. I just inserted a line with a setFocus() call to the quick search edit control within the task bar. So now I can start entering a search string immediately after I've unlocked the DB or when I open the main window from the task bar. It's no magic - but to me it's very helpful.

void KeepassMainWindow::showEvent(QShowEvent* event){
if (IsLocked && !InUnLock && event->spontaneous()){
#ifndef Q_WS_MAC
showNormal(); // workaround for some graphic glitches
#endif
OnUnLockWorkspace();
}
QuickSearchEdit->setFocus(); // <-- insert line
QMainWindow::showEvent(event);
}

I made this very same tweak, but in a different way (this is the patch):

I don't really know QT, so I didn't think about showEvent. What I tried to do is to find the code that gets called when:

1 - The main window is started
2 - A new KDB file is opened

Going for Ctrl+F right after opening KeePassX could have done just fine, but I'm lazy.
