viewSelector: Avoid stealing focus from other entries into overview entry

The captured-event handler just redirects focus there on the first keypress,
what it doesn't account for is that other entries may be active while the
Activities overview is opened (eg. alt-f2, or other modal dialogs). Play
along with other entries, and make it only steal focus if no other entry
is selected.
