Lets hazard a guess as to what you meant by that:

This will allow you to anonymously "over-see" key events:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-General.html#gtk-key-snooper-install

When you register a callback with a widget for key press events then
you become "responsable for handling key press events for that widget".
