Thanks for the focus tip.

Well, using GTK_WIDGET_CAN_FOCUS(), I have determined that neither a
GtkGLArea nor a GtkEventBox can receive focus. That kinda sucks. If
an event box it the way to catch events for widgets that dont handle
them, but cant get them itself, whats the point? How am I supposed
to catch key events anywhere? Is this a Gtk issue? Or am I missing
something?
