I found that in order to properly attach to "key-press-event" or 
"button-press-event" in a GTK_WINDOW_POPUP type window I have to attach 
focus to the window with a handful of function calls...

    gtk_window_present( GTK_WINDOW( popupWindow ) );
    gtk_widget_grab_focus( popupWindow );
    gtk_grab_add( popupWindow );
    gtk_widget_grab_focus( widget );

Then I can catch key and button presses inside the window. Otherwise it 
still thinks the GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL has focus and receives keys/buttons.
