So today I've tried just about everything I can think of.  I've futz'd 
with key related events and focus flags in all the relavent classes, I've 
munged my class structure this way and that, but still I can't seem to get 
key press/release events in my drawingarea widget once I've placed it in a 
paned widget.  It doesn't make sense.  This should be easy.  What am I 
missing?
