Re: gtkglarea & keypresses

[Jim Parker <hopeye cfl rr com>]

G'Day !

I was/am having the same problem.  It appears that I cycle thru the widgets
with each keypress.  On my dialogs I only have the gtkglarea and a button
so the effect is not noticable, but my main window has lots of widgets, and
the entry widgets retain focus after a keypress, so ....

I have not figured out a solution yet.  But it appears you need to set
focus to the gtkglarea and then retain that focus.

hope this helps.
