I can't seem to get the key-press-event to work for any key pressed.  So 
that's the first problem, after that works then I'll see if the Tab key 
works.

The key-press-event event is connected to a cell renderer but it never 
seems to get called when I type in the cell.  In Glade for my main 
window I have the "Key Press | Structure" set in Events, this set the 
GDK_KEY_PRESS_MASK which the GtkWidget documentation says needs to be set.

So I have my callback, I connect the signal to the callback, and have 
the event mask set on the main window, is there something else that 
needs to be set for the key-press-event?

Thanks,
