[good solution to the problem at hand]

I figured out something similar in the meantime. It did work somehow, but
not like I wanted it. Here is why:

The toplevel window contains a big area showing an image and above two
buttons for "quit" and "grab" and a GtkEntry where the user should type in
the filename. "q" really quit the application, but once I entered a
filename, q simply added a "q" to the filename. Ok, so lets change q to
Alt-Q or Ctrl-Q. But those are absorbed by the Entry widget, as well as the
<Return> key.

What I really would like to do is:
- any normal character as well as the arrow keys, Backspace etc
  should go to the Entry widget (this probably means, it should get focus
  on start, currently the user needs to click in this area before entering
  a filename
- Ctrl-Q should quit the application
- <Return> should call a separate function that first performs the "grab"
  action and then updates the filename.

So I need to modify the key events, that the Entry widget sees. How?

Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time.
To be specific the "Plug" almost always works.            --unknown source
