:-/ maybe because I'm using gtk1.2 and not gtk2.0...

I'll try this. Not because it seems to be useful, but the key-events
_do_ work fine by now.

What I want to do is: when something outside the PC emmits something 
concrete (the keyboard or a thing connected to the USB) one page of the 
notebook is shown, but just before some code is run.

In fact, the key_press_event generates an internal event that shows the
page of the notebook and runs the code. When the tab is clicked, the
_same_ internal event must be generated (i.e. I want something to be done
just when the page is shown).

So I was trying to program my own "what to do when a new tab is clicked 
instead of showing the page" function (and I've done) but can't "link" 
correctly the tab to the function.

Thanks for the help!
