Qt docs note that QWidget::createWindowContainer has a number of known limitations, with one of them being focus handling. [1] On Wayland, that limitation seems to be preventing us from typing anything into the Kanban view, because it never gains focus. [1] https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qwidget.html#createWindowContainer

Fixes #617
I've tested this on Linux (on both X11 and Wayland sessions), Windows 10, and I didn't notice any difference in behavior compared to the previous approach.
I've also tested the pre-built DEB and RPM packages on their appropriate target distros.
cc @nuttyartist: Can you please test this on macOS? Thanks!
