GtkSocket seems to block key events. How to unblock?

[Van H Tran <tvhoang1980 yahoo com>]

Hi all,
I have this GtkSocket embedded as a child (among a few
other children) to a parent window. 
Whenver the focus is on the Socket, all the key events
are not caught and therefore the parent window doesn't
respond to these key events.

Is there any way for the parent window to catch these
events???

Thanks a million for any reply
Cortes,
