You need to make sure that

	1. The preview's window can get key press/release events.  You
           can use this code:

		GtkWidget *preview;

		preview = gtk_preview_new (GTK_PREVIEW_COLOR);
		gtk_widget_set_events (preview, 
				       (gtk_widget_get_events (preview)
					| GDK_KEY_PRESS_MASK
					| GDK_KEY_RELEASE_MASK));

	2. The preview can grab the focus:

		GTK_WIDGET_SET_FLAGS (preview, GTK_CAN_FOCUS);

	3. The preview gets the focus at some point:

		gtk_widget_grab_focus (preview);

Good luck,
