Awww rats...

Though, the more I think about this, I'm kind of surprised there isn't
some kind of gtk-wide configurable exception list of key's that are
passed through.  Just for apps that really do need those keystrokes!

(No wonder there aren't any really good elearning creation apps for *nix
out there yet!)

Cool, interesting info.  If the keyboard snooper idea doesn't work, I'll
give that a shot. :)

Thanks Yeti!
