Search thru 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkWidget.html
for the word 'global'.

finding:
gtk_widget_is_focus ()
and 
gtk_widget_grab_default ()

Also, your window manager has some settings on how screen focus
is handled.

You might be looking for a global keyboard grab?
It will completely grab the keyboard for your app.
See 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk/stable/gdk-General.html
and search for
gdk_keyboard_grab ()


Can you provide a simple code example explaining/showing what you want?
