[gtkmm] key press problem

[Phillip Neiswanger <sigsegv prodigy net>]

Hello,

I'm having trouble with key press/release events.  Working from the inner 
most widget out, the application has a drawingarea which is contained in a 
notebook page, the notebook is contained in a frame and the frame is used 
in the call to set_contents() during construction of my class derived from 
Gnome::UI::App.  The drawingarea accepts keypress and keyrelease events 
via virtual on_key_press_event() and on_key_release_event() functions.  
All works well until I add similar functions in my application class 
derived from Gnome::UI::App.  The gtkmm book documentation says that a 
return value of false from these event handlers will pass the event on to 
the next handler, but reguardless of return value the drawingarea no 
longer gets the events once I add virtual on_key_press_event() to the main 
widget.

How do I get handling of key press/release events in both the main widget 
and the drawingarea?  I need to cntl-<key> handling in both widgets.
