Glad to be of help. Keep in mind that I'm just someone who has recently
trod the same path you're currently on: I don't consider myself an 
expert in GTK and am not suggesting any of this is the canonical way to 
do things. John's suggestion of an explicit keymap file may well be the 
superior solution for your needs. 

I like mine because: 

 +ve I needn't maintain multiple keymap files 
 +ve And also the bulk conversion doesn't silently clobber existing keybindings, 
     so it's relatively safe. 

but 

 -ve It may well make things more confusing for the user who wants to 
     customise their bindings. They have to understand that <ctrl> 
     means <command> on OS X. 

 -ve Things get messy if you want both <command> and <ctrl> bindings.

I don't know, sorry. 

warm regards, 
Richard.
