Heh no it wont, David pointed out one way of getting at "all" keyboard
events - basically you need permission from the X server - as a GUI
application - its not in your rights to recieve all keyboard events,
you only get keyboard events when a window in your application has
keyboard focus, this is not a limitation of GTK+ but a limitation
of the X server (the server just wont send the events to the client).
