Look at the "xsetroot" application.

Two ways:

 - to get all keyboard events, create a GtkInvisible and
   gdk_keyboard_grab() on the GtkInvisible, or just use a GtkWindow
   type GTK_WINDOW_POPUP that's offscreen (position it somewhere
   offscreen)

 - to get specific keyboard events you need to use Xlib and use 
   XGrabKey(), there are examples in the GNOME panel source code.
