Thanks a lot for making the release!

It would be much simpler if GTK+ 1.2.x provided a way to install an
event filter for all windows, but unfortunately it doesn't have a way to
do it.

I guess the patch could be made smarter by skipping windows that do not
have KeyPressMask/KeyReleaseMask on them, and have it just install the
filter for the (parent) windows that do.  This way we would let X
propagate events on its own and we would catch them just on the windows
that are actually able to receive such events.  But it would still not
be any prettier.
