Did you add the events to the event mask before the widget was realized ? Does the widget in question have keyboard focus at the time you want to recieve the keyboard events ? Is the widget in question marked to be focus-capable ? (i.e. the can-focus bit/property)
This last item did the trick. I set the can-focus property and the GtkDrawingArea now registers key presses and releases. Thanks.
Now that it works in the contrived standalone app, I need to figure out how to get key events in an XEmbed'ed application. I apply the same can-focus property change but I'm afraid I might be fighting with the hosting app for the key events.
