I should really read my emails more closely; if you want to
change the notebook page programaticly; you should definitly skip
the keyboard codes and jump straight to notebook api:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkNotebook.html

and you can use gtk_widget_grab_focus () to set focus explicitly.
