I've had yhe same problem. You can catch the key_press_event and handle
it yourself.
Beware of the auto-repeat function of some keyboards.

Handle the proper keystrokes in your own handler (usually TAB and
Shift-TAB).
If the user clicks on another widget with the mouse, the focus moves. I
don't know if this could be "dangerous" for your app. If it is, then you
have to use focus_[in|out] events and give back the focus (with
gtk_widget_focus_grab) to the "correct" widget).
