This last item did the trick. I set the can-focus property and the 
GtkDrawingArea now registers key presses and releases. Thanks.

Now that it works in the contrived standalone app, I need to figure out 
how to get key events in an XEmbed'ed application. I apply the same 
can-focus property change but I'm afraid I might be fighting with the 
hosting app for the key events.
