[gtkmm] Assigning callbacks to function-key presses

["Daniel Evison" <devison pacificit co nz>]

Hi,

How can I assign functionality to the function-keys, F1-F12, in a gtkmm
application?
Actually I have eight buttons, and would like F1-F8 to activate these
buttons.  (Alternatively the function keys could just be connected with the
same callbacks as the buttons).

By the way, I really appreciate answers to other questions that I have
received on this mailing group.

thanks,
Dan
