key snoopers

[Paul Davis <pbd op net>]

can someone tell me a little about a key snooper - what is it, what is
it for ? 

i'm contemplating using it to completely subvert the default GTK+
method of handling keystrokes, which is at odds with the way some of
my GUI's need to work.

before you protest, consider a window with 300+ widgets, and the
requirement that "focus" be completely keyboard driven. imagine for a
moment that there is no mouse ... do *you* want to use TAB to get
around ?
