Listen to the top level window.
You can get the currently focused gdk child but note I think you
actually want the gtk widget which is different.
In any case you can get the events off the top level and easily track
the gtk/gdk widget that currently has focus.
Your approach would not even work under X11 for gtk widgets that are
not backed by a gdk widget.
