  Here's what I do:

gint colorlist_key_press(GtkWidget* widget, GdkEventKey* event, gpointer
data)
{
  int x = -100;

  switch (event->keyval)
  {
    case GDK_Up: x = cur_color - 14; break;
    case GDK_Down: x = cur_color + 14; break;
    case GDK_Left: x = cur_color - 1; break;
    case GDK_Right: x = cur_color + 1; break;
  }

  if (x != -100)
    gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name (GTK_OBJECT(widget),
"key_press_event");

  return TRUE;
}
