I don't think this is trivially possible. As soon as the popup is
created, it gets all the key events. No popup, no completion.
While I really wonder what the purpose of this inconsistency wrt other
GTK+ applications is, you can still do what Nautilus 2.12 does [1] (2.14
hopefully won't!) and keep around your custom typeahead buffer.
