I'd suggest looking at: 

 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90082

instead. The problem is not 

 "widgets should get all keystrokes before accelerator processing"

But:

 "Input methods should get keystrokes before accelerator processing"

The first would be a way of solving the second, but not the only
way.

Yes, handling XEMBEd is a major problem here.
