Yep, that's the code. Writing other widget sets is not what GTK is
made for, so we don't have an easy way to change this. ;-) That's why
Chris was working on Xlib Mozilla for a while I imagine.

However you can do a hack to GtkWindow - connect to key_press_event,
when you see one of these keys call gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name to
kill the event. Or subclass GtkWindow and override the default signal
handler and do something a bit differently there. Should be able to
get it working. You could possibly also override set_focus or
grab_focus and do some sort of hack.

You may well have weird interactions with GtkMozEmbed and apps like
Galeon...
