Marc Santhoff was nice enough to send me the referenced example off-forum
(where attachments work).  I compiled and ran it successfully.  Thanks a
lot, Marc!

I need to send a key-press-event or in some other way communicate the
equivalent of a keypress (not coming from the keyboard).  I found the
following postings in the gtk-app-devel-list archive about this, but the
link no longer works.  Can anyone send or post an example?


        how can I emit a key-press-event?

        Dear sirs:
            How can I emit a key_press_event to top level window in gtk+?
in windows we can use PostMessage. g_signal_emit_by_name crashed in second
exec.
            is there an example?
        thanks.

        Hmm..  The attachment really was there when I sent this.  You can
find
        the file from the following address as well.
