within your handler:

   gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name (GTK_OBJECT(sheet), "key_press_event");

for those keys that you don't want handled by the default handler. if
the archive was up, i'd point you to the half-dozen entries about this
that would be there. alternatively, i'd write a new FAQ entry. but
since this changes fairly significantly in GTK 1.3/2.0 so that this
kind of nonsense is no longer necessary, it doesn't seem worth it.
