Re: [gtk-list] Forwarding events to the proper widget

[Eden Li <tile primenet com>]

It gets sent to the currently focused widget.  If you want only one widget
to recieve key events keep it focused by attaching a focus callback to all
the other widgets' (if they can recieve focus) GtkWidget::focus_in_event
signal.  This isn't very elegant with lots of widgets, but it works well
if you only have a few...  in my experience the only widgets that you need
to keep focus away from are the GtkText and GtkEntry widgets.  Everything
else doesn't seem to keep focus like they do.

Hope this helps.
