Bug Description

This bug happens with version 2.16.0-0ubuntu2 shipped with edgy beta.

Firstly, use the deskbar applet as usual. For example, let's earch for 'Ubuntu' in wikipedia.
The behaviour compared to Dapper seems to have changed since the typed text is _not_ cleared after triggering the desired action. I consider this a bug itself because I do not want the previous text to appear that prominently on my gnome-panel (I use the "entry in panel" layout). I just wouldn't want everybody to see that if I had looked up 'Hemorrhoids' instead of 'Ubuntu' in wikipedia.

When using the hotkey (Alt+F3) to activate the deskbar-applet the next time I want to use it, it selects the whole previous text so that I can start typing immediately. However, this doesn't happen if I click it with the mouse. You can see that the text is selected for some milliseconds but then the cursor moves to the position where I have clicked unselecting everything. However, it works if I click on the border of the applet.

I would prefer that the text field is cleared when using the "entry in panel" layout. That would also make the selection bug disappear as well.
